Just an FYI to people trying to view this article, the usual tricks like facebook outlinking, using outline.com and setting google as a referrer didn't work to circumvent the paywall. But I did manage to view the article by changing my user-agent to Safari - iOS. Dunno why it works but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. EDIT: I take it back. This briefly worked, but doesn't anymore. I have no idea what changed. Sorry peeps.

Amusingly, I got a paywall in Safari on iOS.

  It's super weird, this only worked for me once? It no longer does.

What specific version. In Safari on Mac, you can set the user agent in the Develop menu, to iOS iPhone, iPad, etc. Tried them all and no luck. Is there a specific iOS Device/iOS version you set to to be able to view the article?
