It seems they activate the paywall after a post gets traction. Because there was none before.

- croutonwagon 6y agoEasy bypass is to run it through a url shortener, and then outline.com. Works for NYT as well, and most others.
- dwd 6y agoNYT can be bypassed using Reader View, but the WSJ seems to be able to disable it.
- croutonwagon 6y agoSometimes. I find it can be hit and miss. Depending on how many articles ive read....er loaded. Outline trick works for a lot. Even sites like financial times etc
- greenyoda 6y agoThanks, I tried this with tinyurl.com, and it worked! The NYT paywall (and many others) can also be bypassed by blocking cookies and/or JavaScript using a browser extension such as uMatrix. (That doesn't work for WSJ, however.)
- dependenttypes 6y agoI knew that they were scummy but this is quite extreme. Thankfully it is easy to bypass with archive.org (or archive.is)
