The people who write the content and build the site are different from the people who want the paywall?

Usually when it's that obvious, it's general courtesy not to go pointing it out.

It seems intentional, though?

* There's an animation hiding it.

* If you disable javascript, the content doesn't load.

* Copying is disabled.

* There's some kind of javascript function constantly toggling state so that if you right-click inspect, the content div collapses before you can further unroll it.

Someone really wanted users to see the article, then watch it disappear, and make them feel a sense of loss.
