Sorry - it worked for me. I'll opt for an archive.is link next time.

1. Download Opera - https://www.opera.com/download - this avoids breaking anything with JS you need.
2. Turn off JavaScript in Opera.
3. Copy and paste the link.

Not sure why I would want to install a new browser to read an article?
Edit: I appreciate the tip, I just think it is a bit excessive to install a new browser to read a single article.

Agree. A quicker if not elegant alternative is to cancel the page load after the article appears. Typically works for any site that's using JS to hide/erase content already served.

It works for most paywalls, NY Times being one I remember, so it is handy beyond one article.
Likely there are a bazzillion reasons you can't optimise the current browser to turn off JS, and what are the chances anyone has Opera, and would find running it in JS off mode problematic?
YMMV, but I think it is a lot easier to install a browser as a cheap, easy, JS free paywall buster than the alternatives.

Modern browsers can turn off JS per site, so you don't have to install Opera(or another secondary browser) for that.

Ignore the negativity, your comment helped me.
