"not gating information behind said sign-ups" was in the context of regulations like GDPR. You twisted that into "People should do work for free" which is not at all the meaning of what you replied to.

GDPR is nothing to do with stopping locking info behind a signup. Not at all.

People lock info behind a signup if they want to to monetise. Something stopping that is forcing advertising as the monetisation strategy, or else saying people should work for free.
