How can I share an archived version of a WSJ journal article? I think the site is actively blocking archive sites but I'm not a tech person so I have no idea if that's true or not.

Example link - https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/tesla-stock-fans-not-selling-f45fec37

None of the archive sites listed under "url" work. After the page is saved...

  • At archive.today - loading icon
  • At ghostarchive.org - "Archiving error"
  • At archive.org - It saved the paywalled version of the page.

    Sometimes they try to disable archivers' access to the page, but it will often be resolved later.

    It's a cat and mouse game, ultimately in favor of the archivers but the latest articles may not be captured consistently.

    Edit: Yeah they're absolutely going out of their way to block Archivers right now https://archive.ph/scr:8f36a39fe0747078a4da099f395dd4a148e08b68 (401 unauthorized in the response headers being archived)

      Someone should make an addon that let's you automatically submit pages to archives as you view them. It could just be for certain sites with aggressive paywalls like this, so you don't leak a user's personal information.

    It's a WSJ thing, not a hexbear thing. WSJ is one of the most aggressive and proactive news orgs with regards to preventing bypassing the paywall.

    There is an add on that allows you to bypass paywalls that has worked for me in the past on the wsj. I’m sure someone here has the GitHub link, but if not I’ll edit this post when I get back to my computer.

      I use an bypass extension (maybe that very one). But the fucking WSJ blocks my vpn.

      Why no GitHub link? GitHub became gitlab.com and the fucking site forces you to make an account. What the fuck.

    If necessary, Firefox can screenshot a whole webpage using Ctrl+Shift+S, in chrome its in the devtools or something.
