The submitted isn't paywalled or down, are you expecting something to happen to it?

Perhaps you are logged in with a "STAT Account"? When I load the link, it prompts me to create one in order to view the article.
Interesting, I didn't get that prompt. Read the whole thing fine, no login.
Yup, same, hence my (oh so offensive, apparently) comment asking the reason, assuming it must be something else.
Nope, never heard of Stat before. I could read it fine, no paywall, not sure maybe geographic or just hitting different users :shrug:
Lucky you, was paywalled for me. Good thing they posted the link.
Ok, yeah, great, I didn't hit that so I was just curious why they did, thinking must be some other reason.
Bloody hell, I was only curious! It wasn't paywalled for me, I read it no problem.
Paywalled.
Wasn't for me, as I said.
No worries. Must be some regional weirdness. US here. VPN or EU over there?
UK. Also ublock origin - wouldn't be the first time I'd encountered a pay'wall' that flimsy! (Firefox reading mode used to defeat quite a lot of them.)
paywalled for me too
Wasn't for me, as I said.
