Most paywalls know this and don’t load the content at all. Don’t do it because it doesn’t work

Yep. They’ve gotten smarter. Some of the plugins and tools websites use to create a paywall will actually only render part of the article to the browser before the user signs up. They used to simply mask it and you could remove the paywall via editing some CSS in the browser’s dev tools to see all of the text, but that’s not the case anymore.

Server-side paywalling? Everything old is new again.

I copy and paste the paywall link to archive.is. Most of the time they have a paywall-free backup which is readable.

honestly, this is a great point in favor of arguing a switch to FF. if all the plugins that are now getting wiped from chrome move over to FF and tell users they are now availablr on FF, and users advertising just use X plugin on FF to solve glaring issues with chrome, then there is no incentive to stick with chrome anymore.

or maybe this has been the thing all along and i’m just slow 😅

Appending 12ft.io is not dangerous. Prepending it however is.

Because modern “journalists” only know how to copy and paste from other “news sites” and random social media posts.

Journalism has been dead for ages. Now, satire (like The Onion), that’s informative.

What’s next, you’ll tell me Burger King News coverage of The Hamburgler wreaking havok on the city is false too? If we don’t act now to increase our anti-hamburgler budget all of Frace as we know it will be gone! We can’t afford to not act!!!

My strategy with paywalls is to close the tab and go somewhere else. It works fine and is a great way to let the website owner this bullshit make them lose viewers and visibility.

Also definitely refrain from pasting in the URL into archive.is as it is definitely illegal to circumvent paywalls by pretending to be a google web crawler to archive the site
