I was enjoying the irony of reading the article on safari only to have it cut off so they can ask me for my personal information to track me.

It's a paywalled site. They're not tracking you other than to ask you to pay for the content. This will only become more common as sites shift from ad revenue to subscriptions.

I’m not too sure about that. There’s no guarantee they won’t both get your payment and then track you (with confirmed personal details you provided during payment).
