The guardian doesn't have a paywall
They do after you read a few articles.
No they do not, subscription/registration is optional to people that can read.
Maybe not, but it still shows this:![A screenshot of the Guardian's website with a pop up asking for an optional donation, with the monthly option selected by default.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e46ff7b0-7465-4887-9294-c4538b50f317.png)
That's not a paywall. A paywall is basically a mechanism that locks content if you don't pay.
I should have called it a pay hedge.
So click the X
Don't wanna.
