The article in question https://wapo.st/4fp62oH
I am well aware of many work arounds. The point of this post was to show wapo has changed the way gift articles work, which previously didn’t require a workaround

Gifting someone a news article feels so dystopian
I have some issues with WaPo’s reporting at times, but honestly, how do we expect to fund quality journalism if we never pay for news?
I don’t disagree, but ideally quality journalism should be treated as a public good, as it’s, well, a source of information about the world, an extention of education, you could say
A lot of European countries have tax-supported independent news organizations
This article is reposted. Or mirrored or whatever.
I’d rather fund quality original news none-for-profit. But all major news articles are in it for the money. How do you expect me to pay for something that has a vested interest in making money off the stuff they report?
Publicly funded news corporations with journalistic freedom would be nice
