Can someone explain to me, why the "Basic" version of the ACM DL only gives me a link to a crappy "eReader" but the pro version includes link to the PDF? Did they build "eReader" just to frustrate users? Greasemonkey script to the rescue... but why?

They must have had a meeting to work out how to continue annoying people while still technically offering open access… 😓 ACM makes some bizarre choices.
Seems a chaotic design decision, I agree. @tonofcrates.bsky.social has a great post about how generally chaotic the e-reading ecosystem is: willcrichton.net/notes/portab...
