An interesting observation I've had in my own browsing behaviour is that the majority of sites I visit are time wasting visits. If any site presents the above message (or the equivalent - 'sign up to read' like Medium does), I find I just navigate away and do something else.
The bigger concern for me like you call out - major institutions like banks enforcing a separate company's requirements on me in order to interface with them.
