Slideshare presentations now paywalled?

[GTSchemer]

It appears that the Slideshare website has added a paywall. Trying to go through the studio presentation slides for BGA now shows an overlay advertising a 30-day free trial.

Is there an alternative, e.g. hosting PDFs of these presentations instead?

I believe all of the documentation available in presentation form are also available as a pdf, on the main page under the heading 'Discover BGA Studio in 5 presentations'. Links to the presentations elsewhere don't include the pdf link, but they do here.

I checked and it looks like just an advertisement, not a paywall. Clicking anywhere on screen discards it and you can continue viewing the presentation.

Otherwise, indeed PDF's have been made available as an alternative as slideshare was blocked from certain locations ("Dowload as PDF" link in the section "Discover BGA Studio in 5 presentations").

Ah, thank you. I was trying to click around it but gave up. Would it make sense to just include the PDF links as default everywhere? Most browsers can display them in the tab itself now, which renders Slideshare obsolete in my opinion.
