1. I pay for The Economist, I want to share articles with my family & friends without them having to jump through the login hoop, until quite recently there wasn't an intention method to do this[1]
2. My partner is an annalist, her work is often quoted and republished in part or in full behind paywalls, going through correct channels to read what they published can take days to weeks & they need to know Pronto!
Edit: Clearly because I'm paying for The Economist I believe they should be remunerated for their journalism, but a hard policy of "no access unless you've verify-ably paid" would be a worse status quo
