I don’t understand your comment. Is it purposely cryptic?

The article is behind a paywall. Naive clickers don't get to read it.

Which fact you would have missed, had you either (1) had a subscription or (2) accidentally arrived via a search engine.

I provided a link to accomplish (2) for those of us too cheap to subscribe to The Economissed. That population includes me.

Google for the Referer header. And how to configure how your user agent (that would be your web browser, for those of you in Rio Linda) handles said header.

Some sites put up paywalls but realize, if that's all they do, nobody will read them, and their paywall income will then dry up or never get off the ground in the first place. So, they offer freebies to folks arriving from the likes of Google, in the hope of converting them to paid subscribers. Good luck with that!

In the current instance, I was too lazy to bother with configuration (if I land on Economissed more that once or twice a year, I might be motivated), so I just posted a link which doesn't need any browser extensions or configuration menus.
