There are several ways to get around it. The one I usually go with is by pasting the link into the search box on archive.is

  One of the cleverest hacks I've found to get around the WSJ paywall is to just give them a few dollars a week. Sneaky but it works! Edit: Downvoted for this lol. Can't believe paying for the content you want to read is such a controversial opinion.

    Any company that requires that I call an 800 number to cancel my subscription will never get a dollar from me again.

      Glad I'm not the only one. NYTimes and SiriusXM are companies with solid products whom I refuse to do business with due to the hassle of cancellation. Meanwhile Netflix allows you to sign-up, cancel, or even temporarily pause your service without a single moment of hassle.

      Amen, though once I called them it was pretty easy to get them to cancel me. SiriusXM, though...spent 25 minutes on the phone arguing with the rep that I didn't want to pay for their service anymore, in any fashion or form. I was begging them to let me cancel by the end of the call.

      I've cancelled two accounts with them before and never called an 800 number...

    This is worth it if you read their content even slightly regularly. But I really only visit the WSJ when it's linked to me like on HN. I just checked my Chrome history and I've visited 10 articles total this year, counting this one. So $18.50 per month doesn't really seem worth it to me to read 2 articles a month.
