My friend works on WSJ for Dow Jones. Recently, he stumbled upon a query param that you can add to any article link to remove the paywall. It's ridiculous how many things have come up with WSJ to get around what I assume is one of their main sources of revenue besides ads.
- webwanderings 10y agoCan you please share that param?
- philipodonnell 10y agoYou can't just say you have a workaround that someone stumbled on that addresses a problem for a huge number of people and then drop the mike and walk off stage. :-)
- bbcbasic 10y agoReplace WSJ with Netflix, would you suggest he share the link then? Many of us live of SaaS but complain about it when newspapers do it.
- exodust 10y agoYeh riiight, and my friend's second cousin's neighbor works for a company where the cleaning contractor also cleans the building where your friend works, and he overheard someone who said your friend was talking bullshit.
