paywall

Sick of paywall posts. I don't get why this is down voted. Google trick doesn't work for all paywall posts.

Paywalls can be frustrating. As far as I'm aware, the web links for WSJ no longer work, and I intermittently have issues with FT. Are there others you have issues with?

Other than those, NYT. It's usually not too bad but iirc they are dropping support for work arounds. It also seems to be posted with very high regularity and volume here.

They do if you think balancing an index weighed fund is high math.

For those who don't know this trick, click the web link and go to the site via google (which is what the web link does) and more often than not the paywall disappears and you can read the article (at least consistently for WSJ articles this works).

I do wish the web link was on the index page instead of the comments page so it was faster/easier/more obvious to use it.

The web link no longer works for WSJ submissions for me. Have you found that it still works for you?
