Wow, another site that now refuses to play ball unless you sign in.

Guess I'll never be visiting Glass Door again then.

GlassDoor has been gross about this for years.

Not sure if still the case but normally you have to not only 'sign in' but also feed them information (e.x. salary at a position, write a review, etc.) in order to be able to view much of anything.

They also do not give a shit about obvious 'juicing' (i.e. when it is obvious that upper management and/or HR is adding reviews where the 'con' reads like one of those softball warning phrases in a job description.)

With the AI(?) bots doing a DDOS on on public websites via residential proxies the future is all website will require login.

I can kind if understand how forcing everyone to add on to the pile of content, from a business point of view.

However they may have proved that they are indeed.. trash. Maybe even a few times.

One such case was https://www.forrester.com/blogs/glassdoors-mishandling-of-cu...

In my eyes they are in the same class of Facebook, uservoice, Pinterest, Quora etc.
