That outline reads at some point "page 1 of 18", but it seems too short to have been 18 pages. Is it the complete article?


It includes a slideshow with 18 images.

Here's a bookmarklet to bypass the WSJ paywall: javascript:window.location.href='http(s)://m.facebook.com/l.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);


This does't seem to work I get: Cannot GET /articles/http(s)://m.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wsj.com%2Farticles%2Fa-tour-of-david-rockefellers-rolodex-contacts-for-the-worlds-rich-and-powerful-1512488919

Is there another workaround? I'm curious to see the slide show. I like index cards myself. Can anyone post just the slideshow?


You may not be in the news business, but this post is equivalent to posting cracks of software or exploits for gaining free access to SaaS offerings. Yes, it may be within your technical ability to do so, no it’s not what HN threads are for.


It's not unintended or modified behavior, it's more akin to a coupon code which the WSJ intends for anyone with said code to be allowed to use.


Not really, but you can tell yourself that.


WSJ allows FB clicks to bypass the paywall. Is there really a difference if this user navigated to FB, typed the article name in the search box and clicked on the result?


...yes?

If there wasn't a difference then why bother with the bookmarklet?
