Thank you for the great advice. We should share this to a maximum of people. We don't want people to get in trouble for violating copyright especially when done accidentally.
You would never use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine and then type !archiveis in front of your urlbar visiting a news site.
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!
One person downvoted? Are they stupid or something? Asking for a friend.

do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don't google it)
the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway

we all need to consider, it costs money to fund quality journalism. we have to be aware of the many forces working against basic silly journalism, like what's happening at the school board.
excellent psa
LOL the first trick is my go to. I regularly read Washington Post articles in notepad.
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.
