How some people bypass paywalls with clever tricks. I share information on how some users who have no credit card nor resources (as in developing nations) leverage their skills to access paywalled knowledge. They can rely on plugins, outline/reader services, or you can often find the same article on other websites. Keep in mind this channel is not advocating the breaking of any laws (as this is often not questioned legally in most places) but am explaining how in some places where resources are limited, how people there overcome and acquire knowledge.
The plugin in the video is found at: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-...
The outline app in the video is: https://outline.com/
The reading app (sometimes you can find articles here too): https://app.getpocket.com/
also, you may want to email authors, as many authors of articles (especially scientific ones) will happily share their article just for the asking. I've gotten dozens of articles just by asking an author for a copy!
