WSJ also still serves articles to folks coming from Facebook. There's a Chrome extension to redirect all WSJ URLs through Facebook to bypass the paywall, works for now.

I made a bookmarklet for it in chrome:

javascript:(()=>{window.location = "https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=" + window.location})();

Clicking the bookmarklet when you're on a WSJ article will shunt the url through Facebook's redirect service, which will allow you to view the article.

Can you explain this in more depth? I can't make it work. Thanks

I believe they are saying: if you find the tweet announcing the article, you can click through from the tweet and view the article.

This doesn't work for me. Do I need javascript enabled for it to work?

Yes you do, unfortunately. I had to allow scripts for t.co in NoScript for it to work.

Confirmed. Clicking on any article from @wsj Twitter feed works.
