I considered a similar idea like this back when the paywalls were first introduced across some of the larger news sites. Simply register 1 account and then funnel all requests through it for free. It did however conflict with my own idea of what should and shouldn't be done, so I never made it.

It might also conflict with the reality that it would be detected trivially and shut down immediately.
A single account the does daily archives of any new articles, and mirrors them for people, would not be easily detected. It would just look like someone browsing all the new articles each day. Spread it across 2 accounts, and have each one just browse half the new articles each.

Not that i'd endorse this sort of idea, hence i'm not making it, just speculating.
