I came across your article (https://io.bikegremlin.com/29602/mediavine-monetization-review/) and was wondering how you solved the problem with the double opt in via the Grow Subscriber list.

What was your trick?
Thanks in advance,

Mediavine and Grow don't care about implementing double opt in (or options for further limiting the number of adverts on a page, especially on mobile). Greed, I suppose.
