Agreed. I don't have an account, I used to look them up on archive.today but since that has its own... Baggage I just settle for not reading the rest lol.
What are the extra steps? I would think it would be less, no? Paywall would require you to sign up (or login), verify email, select a subscription, enter payment info, subscribe, then go back to read the article. This seems to just be sign up, verify email.

Not a paywall. This particular article requires a free account to view it.
