Can we ban paywalled articles?

  Open it in private browsing/Incognito mode and you'll be fine.

    Private browsing didn't work for me. Just a blank page for 5 seconds, then a full-page ad and no article.

      Setting the user agent to Googlebot [1] worked for me, images and all. [1] Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html http://www.google.com/bot.html)

  Fwiw, I don't get a paywall. Might be one of my ad blocking things.

    So, we don't want advertising and we don't want subscriptions. It seems like we don't know what we want.

      I like subscriptions, I just don't care enough about Newsweek to subscribe. Can't we have ads, with a payment option to remove ads? Ars Technica does this https://arstechnica.com/subscriptions/ https://arstechnica.com/subscriptions/

  Just block cookies from them, it works on most sites with a similar set-up.. Some sites you have to set to remove when you close the browser instead though.
