Sorry, what's the workaround for reading this article? Does it cost money?

In general, you can simply Google the title of an article and following the link in Google search results will circumvent the paywall.

Google demotes links in their search results if they don't allow "first click" access to the content.

Yeah, I tried that for this article and it didn't work. I thought there might be some other way. Thanks though.

Were you using encrypted Google, or via !g on DDG? The trick only works through the non-encrypted one.

Oh yeah, I had HTTPS-Everywhere on. Thanks a lot!

Happy to help! I myself just learned about that nuance the other day.
