      Just because you dislike two things, you don’t have to lump them under the same definition. Language could evolve to consider registration-required sites to have a paywall, but that would be stupid and counter to similar usages of “pay”. People seem really eager to stretch negative definitions to include other things they dislike, but it’s not the word that makes something bad, it’s the thing itself. Two things can be different/distinct concepts and also be equally bad.

        just because you can’t understand things doesn’t mean you have to pretend i’m lumping things because i dislike them….

        “pay” has NEVER been limited to currency… you’re just myopically capitalist….

          And you jump to ad hominem as soon as you’re challenged. You should improve your conversation skills or you will flounder around and never correct inaccuracies in your beliefs. If you believe you do not have inaccuracies in your beliefs despite never changing them, you are wrong. Good luck.

              “No, you” is the best response you can come up with? Come on man.

              This isn’t worth my time. Blocked. I’ll leave you with an acronym as a parting gift you’ll find useful:

                you’re an idiot and i’m not taking this “conversation” seriously….
                and “no you” because you’re literally doing the thing you’re accusing me of, not because i’m rubber and you’re glue
