Okay so what if we pretended our magazine kayfabe was what was actually going on? Would you believe it if we put it in this font? What if we made it a gift article?
No worries. I never encounter the paywalls others complain about when I'm using LibreWolf or IronFox with uBlock Origin in medium mode.
But that's an aggressive setup that needs some setup and tweaking to not break sites. So, I've decided to try helping people with archive links instead. And things end up getting archived on different sites to preserve them when the people in power start going after information.
Seems like a win-win to me.
Edit: Spelling.
