Provide a setting for pocket that blocks all articles from any site that uses paywalls

[rlritchey]

Also, provide a blacklist function so that users can manually have more sites blocked, and a whitelist function to manually unblock specified paywall sites. This provides more power to the user to determine what content is provided and what is not.

Flag "Recommended by Pocket" articles that require a subscription

So tired of clicking articles that look interesting, only to be greeted with a massive content-blocking "subscribe now to continue reading" article.  You know, chrome is starting to look pretty good.

Please provide an option to exclude content that's behind a paywall. Or at the very least, have a banner of some sort informing you that pay-walled content lies ahead.

Overall, the idea of a blocklist/allowlist sounds great. Where you can add 'categories' that you never want to see, as well as specific sites. And if a site is part of a blocked category, but you want to see it, the allow list should assist with that.

At the very least, identify those article links that have paywalls perhaps with a little $ in the corner of the box. That way we can choose whether or not to go there and pay or log in and not waste our time backing out.

From time to time I find all suggested articles to be behind paywalls. I literally can't read any of them without microtransactions to several subscription sites which I have no interest in subscribing to.

Please, fix this by allowing the user to either block sites or disable paywalled sites.

Full agreement. It's so frustrating to see an article that I want to read, only to get there and find it paywalled. It's like literary blue-balls. I would have been happier to never have seen the article at all.

How about you DON'T recommend stories that REQUIRE a subscription to read? Hmmm? Or provide me a way to turn it off? I know you need to generate revenue and maybe you get a kick back if I subscribe to something I see on your recommended stories, but come on! Seems every third story I select is something I need to sub to. Gotten so bad I know which "providers" not to bother with reading.
