For me, the page doesn't allow me to scroll past the first sentence of the article.

Maybe it's because I'm using mobile Firefox with uBO? I only managed to read the article through here.

Guardian have a paywall for their mobile app, you get a quota of articles per week.

However the website which is almost identical is unlimited

Not a paywall you have to pay with money per se, but they require you to have an account and be logged in to fully see a profile, a post and its comments. Same goes for Facebook.
