I am trying to get the full version of an article in AdAge, which is paywalled. Unfortunately, 13ft ladder gets blocked by AdAge’s DDoS protection, Internet Archive doesn’t return the full article, and my university can’t help (despite having access to the publication).
However, people with subscriptions to AdAge can “donate” articles to non-paying individuals. Seeing as how I only need the one article, I am asking around online if anyone can help.
Is there a community on Lemmy where it would be appropriate to ask?
Right, its always the most obsecure publications that put really strict security on their articles. I can only get a tiny bit more of the article through them, as thats all that is prerendered. Spoofing the user agent as googlebot gives a cloudflare error, searching for the title of the article on reddit, bluesky and twitter returned nothing, so it doesn;t seem like people are sharing it much either.
Sorry, off-opic:
New “Magic 8 Pig” post when…?
Maybe the weekend. I’m going to be pretty busy over the next few days.
