Nope doesnt work, at least not on mobile, even with desktop mode enabled. If you just logged out to test it, then the site might still have remembered your browser and allowed you to view it because of that.
Edit:
Just tested on an actual desktop pc and that worked hmmm
Hrmmmm... I guess they force it on mobile. Well, I've updated the description with the link to the Tapas version in case that helps? We're also on the Inkverse
Account walled sites are inherently bad because they are counter to the concept of a searchable and open internet. Also makes them very inaccessible to disabled people and kids.
Also, having a bunch of unnecessary accounts greatly increases the chances of a data breach leading to identity theft for people who recycle passwords, which is a lot of people. I only sort of trust my bank and google to have proper security to avoid data breaches. I definitely dont trust every random content site.
