Pardon the dust! This page includes some jargon that hasn't been added to the site's glossary yet. I'll be around to fix this later, but sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime. |
Glossary Entry: Paywall
Definition
A paywall is a feature on a website or in a video game that prevents users from accessing content unless they have a paid subscription or disable an adblocker.
While this is often used as an alternative to placing advertisements on the website, what this actually does is encourage visitors to go elsewhere for their content.
