I get it they want to make more money and all. But seriously, monetizing copy/paste? Programmers are the wrong bunch to be playing this game with. Using modern tools, entering short snippets is fast anyway. Not to mention, pressing F12 and inspecting the HTML container isn't difficult. You can even use free OCR software to convert a screen shot back to parsable text. All stackoverflow is doing is annoying developers.
How much for copy/paste do they want? Or it's probably a monthly subscription. And even if the amount isn't high, they want to force me to sign in each time I visit?
No thanks.
