They knew when to hold em. Knew when to fold 'em. Just not when to walk away and when to run.

Why do people bother sharing paywalled articles?
Either it’s not paywalled for them or it’s still good journalism and maybe journalists shouldn’t work for free.
No one implied they should work for free. In fact (according to rumors) there are several alternatives for writers to monitize their content without completely walling off the articles.
Do tell.
Google “how writers monitize their content on the internet” it should give you some good insights, as it’s not a very complicated topic.
Oh fascinating, the top response is working for a subscription-based publication that has editorial staff and pays them. The second is freelancing for a subscription-based publication by selling articles to them. Wow.
You’re clearly so skilled with reading, but maybe if you can count past two, you can see the alternatives I mentioned previously.
You mean the rumored several alternatives, that I asked you to elaborate on, and you told me to Google? Yes, clearly you listed specifics.
Buddy, I really won’t explain something to you that you should be able to figure out in less than 8 seconds. If you truly can’t figure out that advertising, sponsorships, and affiliate programs exist there’s nothing I can do to help you You’re clearly challenged and I wish you luck going foreward…
Use firefox browser desktop mode and click the reader mode icon next to the url. it pulls the article text out so you can still read it without the paywall
Reader mode is clutch for getting around paywalls. I’m just waiting for the day it suddenly stops working.
Wasn’t paywalled for me. Wired allows a certain number of views per month so it’s not always obvious you’re posting something paywalled.
I use Bypass Paywalls Clean.
I do too and it works great. Unfortunately, I tend to be on my iPad in the evenings or early mornings, so I get stymied.
I’ll guess that if you bought a subscription to the website, you don’t see the paywall. So you might share it like anything else cool online, forgetting that this thing is paywalled and not everyone will be able to see it.
