A way to read paywalled articles
If you want to read an article that is paywalled on a site like WSJ, type outline.com/ in front of the URL and you'll be able to access it in a form that looks like a Medium article.
For ex,, outline.com/www.wsj.com/articles/thousands-of-americans-will-… instead of https://www.wsj.com/articles/thousands-of-america…
Just recently learned about this. Not sure if this is something that most of you already know, sorry if it is.
you could always just read articles in incognito mode on chrome lol. whenever you're done, just close out of the browser and it should clear out whatever it is that news sites use to track how many articles you're reading.
some sites have paywalls from the get-go though so I guess this could be a workaround for that.
Oh shoot just tried the outline trick and it worked like a charm!
Actually never knew this wow thanks
Nice +sb
That is a great approach for metered paywalls, you can even just google the article and use the google ref. Or Facebook. Should work. Alternatively you can disable javascript or use greasemonkey (or similar).
Doesn't work for WSJ afaik but for FT it works like a charm.
Just tried for WSJ - it definitely worked.
Yeah you're right. Pasting the link on outline.com shows only half the article but this way it shows the whole article.
I have been trying to use outline.com for some time. I noticed that for WSJ and FT it works for some articles but not for others. Is there anyway around that or is there any other websites that you can use to read articles that have a paywall?
.
Oh wow, didn't know about this! I usually resort to Incognito although there was one time NYT alerted me that I should go to normal browsing to read. That was just one time though, and now it works fine again.
Have been doing that for NYT and newspapers...
But what about Seeking alpha? STAT? Etc
How about just paying for it journalism doesn’t just spontaneously occur
