There should be a way to eliminate stories behind paywalls from the start page

If we could block particular online sites, since all the stories showing up on the Start Page require paid subscriptions, it would free up the room for those we can actually click on and go read.

Yes, literally around half of all articles from "The Verge" are behind one, so it just wastes my time bothering to click on any of them.

Yep, and even when I click on each story, with a "Dismiss", I guess it will only apply to that one story, which makes no sense! If I simply don't want to read a particular story, I would simply not click on it. Why there's no way to eliminate online sites, so they won't keep populating our home page, makes no sense. C'mon Mozilla programmers, please make this simple feature possible.
