Paywall.

Out of curiosity, how can there be 30 upvotes on a paywalled article? Do they all have WSJ subscriptions?

Mainly just people reading the headline, upvoting, then continue scrolling (I am guilty of this as a lurker). Working in healthcare, I don't even need to read this article to know it's true. Private equity is the antithesis of good public healthcare.

They have been taking over practices since at least early 2010s.

By the time this shit goes normie stream, the fuckening has already happened.

Privacy is another example lol

You're certainly right about observing this incongruity. It's probably one statement that feels so obviously correct that people upvote it without even bothering to read the article.

It's not maintained anymore. The last commit is 8 months old. Use Bypass Paywalls Clean instead, here's the Firefox version: https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean

THANK YOU! I can finally read the NYT now

[-] impure9435@kbin.run 3 points 5 months ago

I recommend switching to Bypass Paywalls Clean, since Bypass Paywalls is not maintained anymore.

[-] CatOnTheChainWax@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you too!! I tried it last night and I couldn't get into NYT or other sites on the permissions list. I'll try this one today

12ft.io and archive.is are also worth trying out if BPC doesn't work for some reason. There are also self-hosted solutions like 13ft and ladder.
