If a website sends all the data of an article to you, it's yours. They can't take it away. There's no basis to make the argument anything is owed to the website at that point.

Definitely don't install the bypass paywalls clean extension or script so you don't have to take a single manual action to get around them. That would be extremely contraversial!

Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!

For poorly paywalled sites, just hit F9. Displays screen reader text. Accessibility, y'all.

Definitely don't use uBlock Origin's zapper mode to get rid of elements on the page that are blocking your view.

I’ve used ublock for years and only recently discovered the zapper and it’s my new favorite thing on the internet

Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.

Back during prohibition in the US, there was a product called Vine-Glo that was a brick of grape concentrate. It came with a warning: "After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine."

12ft.io almost never works for me tbh.

Also, appending before something is called prepending, similar to how a prefix after something is a suffix.

Archive.is is definitely not an alternative that people should use in this situation

I just hope nobody clicks the reader view button in the top right, it would be just terrible if they got an ad free, paywall free version of the site

I do that a lot on my phone but keep forgetting it's a thing on desktop for some reason.

And God forbid if someone uses archiving sites like archive.is!

Truly awful. How will the news megacorp get its money? You wouldn't steal the information required for you to be aware of world events? Right?
