I literally don't read any articles that force me to register. I feel like I'm going to become rather ignorant because of it, but I don't want to participate in their schemes either.
- Just add archive.today before the start of the URL
  
  or 12ft.io
  
  Companies (like the New York times) can pay 12ft.io to make them stop bypassing the paywall. archive.today doesn't take that money
  (12ft is still a viable backup if archive.today is broken for a site, though)
  
  huh TIL
  
  I used to use 12ft but if rarely works for me now.
- I use the Associated Press app. They have never asked me to pay and I don’t see stupid articles that are just links to Reddit or Cracked.
- I still use Google news to follow some topics and it gathers articles from my local news sites, too. But any time if shows an article that prompts me to register to see it, I just go back to the Google news page and tell it to block that source.
  You annoy me once and you disappear lol.
  
  Yes! That's exactly what I've always done lol.
