Doesn't NYT cut off most of the article now? I used to just be able to disable JS but that didn't work anymore last I checked.
Yeah the article stub doesn't link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don't have a session.
It's incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.
In this very particular situation I'm glad most companies are lazy and stupid.
I don't particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don't make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.
Sure, but the easily-bypassed js method makes sure it’s still crawlable by search engines, which is a trade well worth making where I work. Doesn’t matter as much for porn sites since the title and description aren’t the content most people are there for, so you can expose them on the paywall page.
Very true. I don't disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won't matter.
I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content
I thought the issue was they wanted search engines to be able to see the content, but not non paying viewers? Hence slightly shitty paywalls.
I use this extension and it lets me bypass pretty every paywall including NYT's
Best extension along with uBlock Origins!
Warning. Russian orc website. Beware.
Least racist corporate shill
If you're afraid of visiting Russian websites, piracy is probably not for you.
Russian websites aren’t the problem. Software from Russian websites potentially is.
What a bullshit argument. Oh yes, untrusted software from random sites in any other top-level domain is safe.
Shouldnt you be on the ukraine front lines with your commrades?
If you insert yourself as a side of a war and also imply that people doing this should be on the front lines, then apparently you are?
And I don't.
yes. I am 5km from front line.
Cool story bro.
Shouldnt you be on the ukraine front lines with your fellow nazis?
Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.
Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.
