The article is blocked behind a subscription prompt for me, but it's implemented in a silly way that's trivially by-passable. It's just some js code that checks if you've scrolled past a limit and scrolls you back to the top if so. Anything that removes js from the content defeats it, including Firefox's built-in Reader View.

Like with many other sites, you can also go: right-click, Inspect element (Q), and then simply delete the whole <div> containing the prompt.

You can just select-all on the entire text and that seems to work too (but I have EFF privacy badger so I might be cheating).

Disabling JavaScript often works as well.
