if you encounter paywalled content online, you can either 1) not read it, or 2) you can find the person who wrote it, they usually have links to all their social media and stuff, you can find them and send them a message saying "do you remember when internet used to be Free! do you remember Blogs?? what happened!! what happened!! does anybody remember Laughter!!!" and some shit like that. and you can send them that message every day, for Ever. those are the most viable workarounds i recommend
