I posted a gift link as the top-level link, so people shouldn't be hitting the paywall for the next couple weeks anyways. (Note: if you're viewing through Mastodon rather than lemmy, you'll need to have clicked the link, rather than the preview to bypass the paywall, as Mastodon strips off the paywall-bypass token on the preview link)
Maybe my ClearURLs browser extension stripped the personally identifiable Information (PII) tracking fields from your URL.
It's possible, depending on how that works. I recommend disabling it for news sites, as gift links are pretty common.
Thanks, but I only use “gift” links as a last resort, when I have no other way to get past a paywall.
