I use archive.is to read news articles. Just put the URL into it, it's usually already archived
For your web browser, Add this to your uBlock Origin block list:
lemmy.dbzer0.com##.title:has-text(/nytimes.com/)
You can add additional sites, separated by pipes like this::
lemmy.dbzer0.com##.title:has-text(/nytimes.com|theverge.com|404media.co/)
(Change the leading url to that of your own instance)
This will turn this:

So you don't accidentally get interested in a bullshit paywalled article.
It is not just paywall, New York Times is full of propaganda just like CNN.
I wouldn't be willing to disable my vpn for the nyt so thanks for confirming that it wouldn't have made a difference. It appears that they now block everyone who doesn't let javascript freely do whatever it wants to fingerprint you or whatever. I'll not miss them too much.
More and more sites are becoming hostile to VPN’s and flagging the IP’s of major providers. I’ve been encountering this more and more with proton VPN, though generally it still works fine
most sites, including social media will block vpn, because the most common one are abused asf on social media sites, like reddit. its not hard to figure out which vpn. i think thats why ban evaders use mobile rotating proxies instead, not cheap if you run hordes of accounts. on anyone social media platform, or site.
They also don’t like the idea that they can’t scrape every single piece of data at all times from you at will
Archive . Is then paste the article name.
Throw the URL into https://archive.ph/
Thanks for that.
I note that archive has a Firefox addon but I can't seem to see the icon in the toolbar anywhere after installing. It's only an issue because accessing the archive link direct makes me jump through security check hoops before being able to use it online.
I haven't used the addon. At this point, captchas are just kind of the cost of browsing with any fragment of privacy, unfortunately.
I thought bypass paywall was dead?
Got the same message since last Wednesday I think, not by trying to access articles, just playing their daily gameson mobile (Firefox)
How so you bypass paywall?
archive.is then paste the url.
I got this just the other day. Turned off the paywall blocker I forgot I installed and it loaded fine after.
