Is there a community to request help around paywall access

Normally I use archive.is but oddly this NYT article I’m looking for isn’t even available even though it’s from 2013. It seems ridiculous to keep an article that’s over a decade old behind a paywall.

Are there communities that help access paywalled information?

Thanks!

    I’m not sure about communities, but this extension might be helpful

      Also just need to add that I am so glad I started using lemmy. Without it, the death rattle of publicly available information and the internet would probably have been enough to make me give up any will to fight against the Broligarchy.

      Finding so many people that have been way ahead of the game for years has motivated me to keep going even when you have to give up what’s familiar and learn new ways around censorship

        Very true, glad to have you here 😊

        Honestly I’ve learned so much from here. There’s not as much content, but the stuff that IS here is helpful

    I used a Firefox clone with Bypass Paywalls Clean, and I can read that entire article straight from NYtimes.
