I'm pretty sure the article is paywalled, which is why I used an archive link. Also, archive.today is notorious for using an endless captcha against people who use a Cloudflare DNS because archive.today wants to redirect you to a server with capacity based on approximate IP location. I should've used web.archive but only archive.today is supported by this really convenient extension to get an archive link.

I saw no paywall, maybe thanks to some uBO config

I'd attribute it to the bypass paywalls extension, which was taken down from GitHub last week
