This doesn't work all the time...but it works a lot of the time.

It also allows you to post archived links so as not to contribute to left (or right) leaning websites click count.

This is the Bloomberg link we're going to archive...

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Insert after the double backslash "archive.is/"

What manner of sorcery is this? Are you a wizard? :eek-52:
 
Thanks for the tip. I have found that some site's paywall could be circumvented by hitting the "reload" button, then stopping the page from loading. Not in all cases though.

This is much better!
 
I've explained this before.

go to:



Put url into Save Page Now:

Yeah, but the wayback machine doesn't get behind many paywalls...including the Bloomberg page in the OP.

I often got unable to use pages
 
I've always been able to find free sources for big news, so never needed to hack sites. They are never exclusives for long if they're important.

This method, as far as I can tell, does not work with WSJ. . . :sigh2:

And the WSJ is never carried on MSN or Yahoo. . . (I always check with them, as they will always carry the popular NYT and WaPo propaganda.)

 
I don't bother with paid sites. Too many free ones.
Agreed. . but, there are so many different echo chambers, to really understand the entire scope of a story or situation, you really have to sample ALL those echo chambers.

For instance, I really wanted to read that above link, (the one posted in the previous post,) and compare it this one;

RFK Jr. challenges Biden to drop out, insisting he has better shot of defeating Trump​

The independent candidate responded to attacks he’s a spoiler for Trump.

Thank you for the tip. I tried it on The Times here in the UK, and it worked.
