Hey - quick question for those who make articles available as gifts.
Are you paid subscribers, or just email-registered? Are you limited in the number of articles that you can gift per week/month-whatever?
You don't even need a gift. Drop the url in archive.is and you'll get past the paywall.
https://archive.is/ZveZv
Archive.is doesn't work in Firefox. It never lets me past the captcha
As mentioned, check the DNS settings. Could even be in Firefox. I use Archive often from within Firefox, I don't have any issues.
You need to add the following to the DNS over https exception list:
I’m a paying subscriber. Also I sometimes run across a gift link already shared by someone else. I’ll cut and paste that link to continue spreading a good article.
Your doing the Lords work
Anytime you hit the paywall - take a look at their offers. 95% of the time they are garbage offers. But sometimes they are desperate to get subscribers and you can get a year for $2/month. Cancel the renewal and repeat. 😎
I subscribe to some, but mostly scraping them off social media.
I sharply prefer posting gift links to archive sites because they make it clear what the source is before people click, and some of the archive sites block people because they don't like their DNS
I'm late, but find a couple archive sites and keep them bookmarked in your bookmark toolbar. When you find something that is behind a paywall, copy the link, open an archive site, and paste it in. It'll remove all of the javascript and such that content blocks.
