Pay wall removal is legit. Try it. Bookmark this and share, please. TY. ❤️

Search for archives or archive articles yourself!

1) All of the paywall removers in one place

Simply enter the URL of the article and click the archive buttons to remove any paywall.

https://www.archivebuttons.com/

2) Archive.today is a time capsule for web pages!

https://archive.ph/


It takes a 'snapshot' of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears.

It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of any web page including those from Web 2.0 sites:

https://archive.ph/2020.04.21/https://rt.live/
https://archive.ph/2014.06.26/https://www.google.com/maps/@-12.1858563,96.8293918,366m/data=!3m1!1e3...

This can be useful if you want to take a 'snapshot' of a page which could change soon: price list, job offer, real estate listing, drunk blog post, ...

Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!

Search queries by example

microsoft.comfor snapshots from the host microsoft.com
*.microsoft.comfor snapshots from microsoft.com and all its subdomains (e.g. www.microsoft.com)
http://twitter.com/burgerkingfor snapshots from exact url (search is case-sensitive)
http://twitter.com/burg*for snapshots from urls starting with http://twitter.com/burg

But, LMSP, do you have any resources to share that would help us hack in and collect the money charged by the paywall?

One site objected to its crawler (not me) probably because of traffic or some javascript quirk. Keep trying!

Archivebuttons has many options available.

One more thing. Sometimes, take the title of a paywalled article and search the web for it. Often, a paywalled article is syndicated at MSN or yahoo or other.

Happy paywall busting! They open up so google can index their sites and drive traffic, but close down for peeps. They want it both ways.

What you’re talking about. I have only run into one instance of not being able to find or create an archive and I have been using these links for years.

I got tired of sharing them individually every time someone complained about a pay wall. So, I made an OP.

But you rock on! Maybe I will come back and read this again and it will make sense to me eventually.

I'm constantly hitting paywalled articles, so I copy the article and go to archive.ph and paste it. If I didn't have the url's in my toolbar, I would constantly forgot them!
