So how does this annoying paywall work? I clicked the link 5 times. At the 6th time it showed me the full article without the url-tail. Can someone confirm that

- corin_ 13y agoThey show the page and then block it from you afterwards, so if you load the page then keep spamming the escape key to stop anything else from running the content will stay there. Therefore my guess is that your 6th time it just happened to not work (maybe you accidentally hit escape, maybe your browser decided not to execute a script, or your internet timed preventing it from doing so, or....) - but I could be wrong.
- hudibras 13y agoYou go to this page[0], where they give you three options ranging from $3.75 to $8.75 each week. But they're running a sale right now, you can get the first 4 weeks for 99 cents.
