Note:
This hack doesn't work anymore, please see lower post [here] for new way to bypass paywall. (updated May 2024)----------------------------------
Here is a random but super useful hack for you. I shouldn't gatekeep, it's been working great for me for a few years. Lol
If you find yourself wanting to read something that's is hidden behind a paywall, there's a really easy solution.
1. You need a free account on Pocket (which is a very useful site on its own, kind of a 'save for later' site/app).
2. Save the page to pocket:
°If you have the app, you can save right from your mobile browser menu.
°If you have the chrome extension on your laptop or desktop, that works too.
°Or you can just copy and paste the URL manually.
3. Once the page is saved, just open it from the app or website and tada, full text.
Works 99% of the time.
Examples off the top of my head:
The NYT, Globe and mail, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, The Nation, The Washington Post, Le Devoir,.. you get the idea.
xo
This is what the app looks like - don't mind my reading list haha
