       | Off-topic: That's perhaps the most annoying paywall I've
       | encountered yet. It first pretends to give you the whole article,
       | then revokes it when you reject the page's attempt to sign you up
       | for notifications. Then there's a separate count-down timer to
       | trigger it too.
