If you're going to put up a wall up on your websites, make sure they load right away instead of loading the whole article before the paywall gets loaded.

I was able to read this entire article despite its pay wall by screenshotting the article before the pay wall came up. I had to reload the page, screenshot several times, and time it right but I was able to read the whole article.




Just press Esc to stop loading the webpage before the wall shows up. Needs practice to time it correctly, but it works well. Other option is to just disable JS.


On sites like these i've started disabling javascript.


Private window, enable JavaScript, bypass GDPR banner, disable JavaScript. (Though I'm boycotting NYT until the risk to Scott Alexander has passed.)


You can also read it by viewing the source or by deactivating the paywall
