It will be behind a paywall... That makes no sense as to other websites that are widely used are free. Why would they want to profit off of the disabled like that? It's supposed to be a free feature for those who have trouble seeing with white blinding backgrounds. Makes me sad.

Dark mode behind a pay wall? That's new.
Like if it was other purely cosmetic stuff i could understand but darkmode isn't just for the aesthetic, rip.
No idea which website we're talking about though but hope they'll reconsider their choice. o:

To play devils advocate....
Site needs money.
Ads don't always work as so many people use adblock.
If it's the site I THINK you're referring to, then most people w ho would use the site would be smart enough to avoid the ads.
At the same time, those that use the site, you'd think are smart enough to just get the browser add on (I think there's one for both FF and Chrome. Not sure about elsewhere) to alter the CSS to make it dark mode.

yeah. It's a pissy thing to do, but it really isn't a required thing for a site to offer.
It's only expected because of how most sites are offering it for free.
I don't like it, but ... I can udnerstand it.
