For anyone who was wondering about the "Democracy Dies Behind Paywalls" story from The Atlantic...

Open in Firefox's reader mode, then refresh the page. Poof, democracy is saved.

And in case you don't have Firefox, here's a link to the text as a proof of concept:

I'm sure this is intended behavior and not a bug, because it would be a weird PR nightmare to title a story like this and then put it behind a paywall on the internet. Like...it would just be asking for people to share the irony in viral posts. So, again, this Firefox thing must be like a hidden Konami code for fans of the site or something.

@mozilla, thanks for helping save democracy (and making such useful products) 💕

InsertUser ,

@alice $1 for six months??? I think the minimum shakedown I've seen is $15.
