How do you remove the paywall from the article? Just copy the URL of the article and provide it to archive.today, and that website just bypassed the paywall? How do they manage to bypass it? O.o

    They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.

    A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.
