The iOS Safari Reader view does - most of the time- the trick for me. Disabling javascript altogether (in Safari) works like a charm, at least for NYT articles.
I have an iOS shortcut[0] to clear the cookies and then uses google to get a referral link back to the page.
Works for a lot of sites, doesn't work for others.
Someone else created it, I just added a check for medium.com headers(even on non-medium domains) to then search on Twitter for that URL, as Twitter referrals usually bypasses medium paywalls.
