Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why don't we ban sharing links with paywalls?
https://archive.ph/3DyY8
That should absolutely be against the sub rules, if you post a paywalled link you should also be required to post the archive link.
Or, just post with the archive link to begin with.
I haven't experienced the NY times paywall in awhile. I don't mean to sound lectury but there really is no reason to not use Firefox desktop or mobile with ublock origin. It is so much nicer of a web experience, and NY times has some nice articles.
<.< Fuck iOS people then, I suppose.
I just downloaded Firefox and installed uBlock on my phone to test this. Didn't work. Any specific settings?
Edit: hmm OK, figured out the custom filter import for paywalls... do you feel comfortable adding Javascript managed by random people to your browser?
For anyone who doesn't know this... Install uBlock > My filters > scroll down until you see import...
Import these two:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liamengland1/miscfilters/master/antipaywall.txt
https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt
I don't know... I don't feel comfortable doing this. I usually only install trusted stuff in my machines. This feels like an easy way to get screwed.
That person could go rogue and then you have malicious Javascript running next to your credentials on every tab.
Edit 2: after checking in detail, those filters aren't Javascript logic. So it seems fine. I thought it was some form of minimized Javascript
I was actually mistaken in my earlier comment, I meant to say Bypass Paywalls Clean, but actually that add-on was removed previously from the Firefox store due to a copyright claim (it became too popular). I have it installed because it was only removed from the store, not from users who had it installed already.
Like you found out though your searching though, the BPC filter list can be imported into uBlock Origin through it's settings menu.
I think it is still nice to assume that most users don't have these plugins or filters, and to provide the archived version of the page. That way the effort to find the content is done a single time by a single person instead of everyone.
