    Crap. Obviously, I’m gonna gotta stop using archive.today, but it’s the only way around paywalls at numerous sites.

    Removepaywalls.com (plural) inserts ads, often for shady operations.

    Removepaywall.com (singular) usually works, but it’s tricky sharing the links (i.e., “choose option 2” or “choose option 4”).

    Byebyepaywall.com has old, dead options.

    Wayback Machine bombs out a lot.

    And ghostarchive.org is successful so rarely it’s really a last resort.

    Anyone know of any others?

      Possibly irrelevant, but some browsers have a “reading mode” which, in conjunction with the ol’ Hitting F11 and Then Esc Trick, will produce the whole article before a paywall can finish loading.
