Why bother even excerpting & linking when the rest of the story is behind a paywall?

Bingo!! Some people can be so rude and inconsiderate. I don't like my time wasted either.

I'm not a subscriber and it let me see the whole story.

Funny though, I just posted a link from Rolling Stone on a different thread after reading the entire story. When I clicked on it from a different computer, it only showed an excerpt and the rest was hidden behind a paywall. So I hit "refresh" and then "stop" once the story opened up and was again able to read the whole thing.

This trick sometimes works on other news websites as well.

I clicked and did not hit a paywall.
