How do you get past the paywall?

I have a 'Via Facebook' bookmarklet. Something like this uri saved as a bookmark:

    javascript:window.location='https://facebook.com/l.php?u='+window.location

Will redirect you to your current page via the Facebook link service (and thus with a FB referrer). Most publishers are too desperate for traffic to block FB.

If you go to my site[0] in Chrome or Firefox, you can easily install such a bookmarklet by dragging the giant 'Via Facebook' button to your bookmarks bar.

not only that but the referrer 't.co' (twitter's url masking service) also bypasses the paywall. it also works for any other dow jones site and sometimes FT if you block cookies

Accessing the WSJ article using incognito mode and a referral from Twitter seems to work.

Easiest way: post URL to the article in twitter and then click link from that new twitter post.

Typically, you pay.
