12ft

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.

12ft was awesome but it doesn't work for medium posts. Would love to know if there any other good alternatives.

Scribe.rip for Medium.

Just replace "Medium.com" or any Medium base URL with "Scribe.rip".

Not work anymore. Some article is permanent behind paywall, and required log in to preview.

So scribe will show partial content only as you preview.

They also bended over to NYT. Cowards.

(If you start a site like this, you surely can count on that somebody will be after you. Host it in different country, pay with Bitcoin, hide your registrar data etc so they cannot sue you. If you cannot guarantee it, why start it?)

I think you misunderstand what 12ft.io's business model is -- they didn't bend over for the NYT, the NYT bent over for 12ft.io by paying them to exclude them from the service. Literally the whole point is to extort money from publications to get on the whitelist.

I'm not sure about that. Maybe they asked very nicely?

I think archive.ph works with Medium last I tried.
