We got big plans for this year

I'm making it my mission to clean the web.

It started with https://t.co/dftOatQ5Z6 when 8 of the top 10 links on Google were paywalled when I was doing COVID research at the beginning of the pandemic. Unbelievable.

But i'm not done

@chronicly_illin I appreciate that, the best thing you can do to support the effort is to sign up at https://t.co/RYIOhf5mIb

My plan is to build out many such tools to help users of the internet to take back control

[12 Foot Ladder @12ftio]

@chronicly_illin Should be fixed now! Sorry, I had to pay for more bandwidth. Y'all made this so popular

📢 12ft is now on iOS!

Ever scrolling through Twitter on the can, see a link to an article and immediately get hit with popups and paywalls?

https://t.co/tox3XjtZfa lets you easily get to a clean version of the site with no ads, emails captures, or paywalls.

@mkramer Absolutely, it's a complex issue and a bad business model. We're just trying to help people get access to crucial information for their health and civic responsibilities. One day we hope that can solve this in a better way

[12 Foot Ladder @12ftio]

@mkramer https://t.co/fwXFE8gF5s can help remove some of the paywalls if you don't find luck anywhere else.

We had the same frustration with COVID research so we built this

[12 Foot Ladder @12ftio]

@waffletothesean @SaraMojtehedz @TorontoStar No problem, enjoy!

We're working on a Chrome extension / iOS shortcuts + much more to make this better over time. Check back, we'll be posting feature updates on Twitter

@heyyjohann @Lexialex We also built https://t.co/KSGuciAtoK to help for other sites where the "reader" trick doesn't work / for Android users.

Just add https://t.co/pQ7JzVQYvX to the front of any URL and it'll do it's best to remove popups, email captures, and paywalls
