Any chance of un-paywalled versions, for us poor souls still believing in freedom of information...?

Did you mean “free labor”? This “free information” you speak of requires the labor of humans in many forms to publish.

We have that. It’s called a public library. Many have subscriptions to paywalled content.

Not a bad suggestion (particularly now that libraries are increasingly digital-oriented), but I doubt I'd find a library in my corner of Northern England that subscribes to the New York Times.

I got these through the browser extension https://github.com/dessant/web-archives

or just going to the sites and searching.

HN is actually how I found out about archive.is/fo/today

There used to be a "web" link under paywalled sites in HN, pointing to archive.org, but it seems to have gone away.

Media channels get paid even when they are free: in goodwill, reputation, visibility, etc etc - all that stuff they are so keen to bestow on their workers in the lower organizational rings.

Regardless, the guilt trip you're so keen to induce would maybe trigger if I could pay these folks by article, rather than with feudalistic subscriptions that are notoriously hard to cancel. As it is, my conscience is unblemished.
