I found this website on another forum for reading media links behind paywalls. I tried it a few times and seems to work apart from you lose any pictures. I've been finding it increasingly difficult to read linked articles recently.
https://12ft.io/
Prepend 12ft.io/ to the URL of any paywalled page, and we'll try our best to remove the paywall and get you access to the article.
How does it work?
The idea is pretty simple, news sites want Google to index their content so it shows up in search results. So they don't show a paywall to the Google crawler. We benefit from this because the Google crawler will cache a copy of the site every time it crawls it.
All we do is show you that cached, unpaywalled version of the page.
