Paywall Busters
*this article is in no way affiliated or sponsored by paywall remover or any other intelligent life forms
One of the most annoying things on the internet: an article perfectly engineered to pull you away from whatever you should be doing, sitting behind a paywall. This one surfaced on Apple News+, got blocked, so I Googled the title to find the original source. Also blocked.
Classic.
There’s the obvious move (pay for a subscription), the sensible move (close the tab and get back to work), and then there’s the third option: paywall removers. Sites that scrape and cache articles so you can read them without a subscription. I used to rely on 12ft.io but it’s gone now. Cue PayWall Remover is a solid replacement.
Before anyone comes at me: I get it. Writers need to eat. If I’m regularly reading a publication, I’ll pay for access. But a single article dangled in front of me by Apple News+? Fair game.
