I thought that was an offense that would get one either severely de-ranked or delisted from search outright?

  What do paywalled sites do, then? They don't seem to have a problem ranking just fine.

    They show the abstract or the same bit of the headline and maybe a paragraph you see when hitting the page. Googlebot doesn't get the full text.

      I've definitely seen article text on Google that was not presented to me when I clicked the link, and not because the article was updated or something, but because I was blocked from seeing the article.

        It could be in a hidden element or something.. I find that pages that do this fall in the face of things like safari reader mode.

        Many "paywalled" sites lose their paywall if you disable JS.
