Use the free 12ft Chrome ext. The huge benefit over other methods: You can send anyone a link to the de-paywalled content. Eg:

https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https://medium.com/change-your-mind/doing-these-three-things-makes-you-look-like-a-jerk-1b7c5b5bedbc

Note the 12ft.io domain it's hosted at. That link will survive forever. Really useful. I can't count the times I sent someone a Medium or NYT link, and they replied, "I can't see that content."

"Shut off JavaScript" is a big ask for the average enduser, and Incognito mode is too. Now your links will work the first time you send to them to luddite friends and family members.
