10 years ago paywalled sites contained the content just hidden. Today I haven't seen a site in a long time that renders the content hidden (why would it do that? There is no reason to do it based on indexing/SEO as far as I'm aware).
Even cached/archived versions these days tend to not include the whole text. Basically: they figured out how to make a paywall, which frankly isn't that surprising.
