Paywalled. Asks for a sub.

It doesn't have a paywall for me. Paywalls are a plague, but are impossible to control if you're submitting posts here. Some pages are putting them in after a while, others after a certain amount of views or social shares, others have soft paywalls that come up after a user has read a certain amount of articles, some are based on the location of the user and others are there on mobile, but not on desktop. Use the usual paywall killers like archive.ph or ByPassPaywalls Clean if you're having problems

In my case you had to scroll down a bit before the paywall popped up, it didn't show immediately.

Thank you.

Edit: Unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Option one and two was too wide for viewing on my phone, so I was constantly having a scroll left and right.

It did keep the pop up from coming up, but it was too much to try to constantly scroll left and right as I'm going down the long article to deal with.

Option three would fit in the phone, but then the same paywall dialogue would come up preventing me from reading the whole article.

Options four and five didn't do anything for me.
