Pay-wall / subscription-wall News Tab

Trying to read the news articles, find something interesting, only for it to be sub-walled or pay-walled.... Been reporting them for over a year, nothing seems to change. I'd imagine a simple script would be able to open these links one at a time and detect a pay/sub-wall immediately and 86 it from the line-up..... You'd think.... But I also think it's safe for us to assume the reason they don't bother fixing this consistent, widely-encountered issue, is because they acquire coinage for unique hits on those pages. It's disappointing AF, because we all know they could fix it with EASE. That is all.

Solution choisie

a) scripts hitting it would be denied immediately and always, while residential IPs get some amount free usually; b) each consumer gets apparently different amount of preview content based on the region, previous site data etc. so it's not the same for everyone given it's in the hands of the publishers.
