"death of the metered paywall."?

I understand this is publisher-centric newspaper, but it's not like it was that hard to bypass it.

If I remember right, Chrome had "open guest window" functionality forever, which bypasses the detectors as wll -- and it only took 4 clicks (select all, copy, open guest window, paste-and-go)

Sure 4 click -> 1 click reduction is a big change, but it is hardly "death of metered firewall"
