Disabling JavaScript seems to work in most cases. Not sure why that isn't listed higher up on here
That’s my go-to technique. But I would prefer that Lifehacker was not publicizing it.
I'm sure most are already aware of it, but to get around it they'd have to lock part of the article behind a "load more" button that requires JS (or even just auto-load it via JS without a button), which I have seen some do.
There must be a reason it's not done universally though. Maybe because it'd break archives? Not sure
My assumption is that they want the content to load initially so search engines can index it.
