- tn890 4y agoAvoid a paywall only to be forced to complete a captcha in 4 (FOUR!) tries until successful. Sigh..I hate the internet these days.
- Brajeshwar 4y agoI've had days when I had to fight the Cloudflare CAPTCHA to visit my own website. I, later, turn it to "Literally Off" (my site is static HTML). :-)
- jgrahamc 4y agoThat isn't a Cloudflare CAPTCHA. And, we are eliminating CAPTCHA: https://blog.cloudflare.com/end-cloudflare-captcha/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/end-cloudflare-captcha/
- frereubu 4y agoYou can also just turn off JavaScript to read Economist articles.
- FabHK 4y agoThat's my solution for the NYT, but it didn't work for The Economist for me.
- frereubu 4y agoHmm. All I've done is turn off JS with uBlock Origin in Firefox, so if you're doing it through the browser, perhaps uBlock does something extra.
- akhmatova 4y agoYou can also just use the archive to avoid having to turn off JS.
- futureproofd 4y agoAdmittedly I scrolled down to find the obligatory archive link to read this for free, but it's got me wondering now, how do the economist and other online publications make money if we can easily circumvent their paywall (assuming this is their main revenue driver)?
- halper 4y agoDo not worry; I pay for you! Seriously, I presume that enough people pay that making it harder to circumvent the paywall is not a problem. Yet.
