Memes

Many sites don't work like that and don't even load the content from the server before the paywall check.

But I have a trick that work 100% of the time. Just don't read those sites.

I get that journalism and entertainment magazines have workers and need to be paid BUT:

They were getting paid when I could pay a cheap physical newspaper if I want to read it and usually had those for free anyway. As you'll get newspapers on most public places and one single newspaper would serve a whole family. In my house we didn't really paid more than 4€ a month and got physical things that you could just keep. Now with digital distribution you own nothing and it is far more expensive. So... No. Also they get a ton of public money through institutional advertisement, so I'm already basically paying for them without getting access to their content.

So unless they are willing to change their model I'll just refuse to read them. I'm happier without their clickbaits anyway.
