    Its a gift link. Unless you’re doing something fairly uncommon, like removing the gift token, access is free. You can also use one of the various archive sites

      Haha, funny you should say that, I’ve been linking this to people but taking the tracking portion out of the URL as I always do, I think that’s pretty common amongst us lot :-D

      I’d say oopsie, but I dunno, articles like these should probably be free without needing special URL parameters. Not everything of course, but vital public safety announcements like this.

      …that’s not what happened when I clicked it. I guess you have to have your anti-tracking disabled?

      (side note: I hate the phrase “gift link”. It’s not a gift, it’s a promo, as evidenced by the number of blatant marketing agency accounts posting them on social media.)
