Not with Chrome. Stopped wanting me to join, blah blah. Also, and to note, this is a systemic issue with FlightAware. There are other sites that are not nearly as revenue-focused / eyeball click counts, with current subscribers being played. There is NO editorial management on this site since the acquisition by Collins. All manner of content management based on relevant information for its then dedicated aviation enthusiast audience has disappeared resulting in just another (yawn) social media platform full of politics, BS, and some serious thinkers. Quite sad actually. Bravo to the original owners, I hope that the buy out by Collins has allowed them to ride off into the sunset with smiles on their faces, condos wherever they wish, and shiny cars.

Click bait - does it ever end on this site? How much revenue is generated by FlightAware by this amateur business model of theirs? I have asked in the past to simply confirm that they generate revenue from this practice and feedback from FlightAware? crickets. Maybe I just have not seen the super-fine print. Anybody know where a disclaimer of this type can be found?

Agreed on the article. They don't call it Yahoo News for nothing! They conveniently left out the actual context as alluded to by @mbrews below. Cheap tabloid-style media reporting. Regards
