So I have noticed that 12ft.io is having problem with newer articles. Anything posted in the last 3 or 4 days seems to not have been scraped by whatever they are using or however they are using it. I've also seen some people say that they've taken money from corporations to not scrape articles. Now I don't know if that is true, but I will do some research and get back to this shortly.

Also keep in mind that paying for news often leaves the poorer community without information. While yes, i agree that journalists should be compensated, news organisations have become profit seeking businesses since the 70s, and not, as they should be, places of information gathering for everyone.

A paywall prices poor people out of information. And things like this still help them.

The guardian should be lauded for their model yes, but that is one company. They can't write about everything.

I saw a post in here that had a bug and wouldn't let me respond from my phone, but...

It was talking about paywalls for news sites. And this is literally the best one i know to get passed them. Just copy and paste.
