How do you get past the paywall?
- marblar 9y agoTypically, you pay.
- emidln 9y agoI have a 'Via Facebook' bookmarklet. Something like this uri saved as a bookmark: javascript:window.location='https://facebook.com/l.php?u='+window.location Will redirect you to your current page via the Facebook link service (and thus with a FB referrer). Most publishers are too desperate for traffic to block FB. If you go to my site[0] in Chrome or Firefox, you can easily install such a bookmarklet by dragging the giant 'Via Facebook' button to your bookmarks bar. [0] https://emidln.com https://emidln.com
- fibers 9y agonot only that but the referrer 't.co' (twitter's url masking service) also bypasses the paywall. it also works for any other dow jones site and sometimes FT if you block cookies
- Kephael 9y agoAccessing the WSJ article using incognito mode and a referral from Twitter seems to work.

- sigsergv 9y agoEasiest way: post URL to the article in twitter and then click link from that new twitter post.
