Seriously, why implement a paywall that can be dodges with Inspect?

  The paywall doesn't have to be all or nothing. Probably a very small minority of their readers are capable of bypassing the paywall using browser dev tools.

    Until someone makes an antipaywall browser extension

      I wrote a Firefox extension called "Open Page in Private Window" that adds a toolbar button to open the current page in a new private window. This won't bypass all paywalls, but it is useful for reading articles on websites that limit the number of articles you can read per month. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-page-in-private-window/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-page-in-...

        Firefox's new focus browser has been great for this when opening links from RSS/FB/whatever else as well.
