Haha this comes up all the time here. Just to be sure, you can click on the https/lock icon, select cookies and block them and you'll never have this problem.

Don't think anyone would "turn someone in" in particular to answer you but it happens all the time. Commercial software businesses thrive on open source, and even of the successful ones only _very_ few concern themselves with giving back to the individuals whose work they used or the open-source world in any way. (edit) I'm not against it per se, but it's sad how it's only take, take, and take.

Even in some first world countries sometimes you don't necessarily get much of the content, or so I've heard, and can't pirate either, because illegal.

Anecdotal, but atleast here in my poor country I'm less inconvenienced than when I was in Germany. I do sometimes feel guilty not being able to support the creators that make this content and often wish there was a way to donate, much more than I wish that the distributors covered my country - because they're shit.

The piracy world that torrents/hosts for free, in my experience, seem to do a far better job.

Delete and block cookies for medium and it'll never bother you. (Edit) As the other user says, click on the https lock icon and it gives you the option to remove cookies - block _and_ remove them.

I, too, had that problem, but pins and random math problems aren't so good. What works for me is taking a random piece of text, converting it into binary and using that as the challenge text (to retype). Typing so many 0s and 1s would require a lot of focus - I'd never dare even try changing the configs.
