How To Read The Atlantic Site Without Subscription 2023
METHOD ONE: Archive Today
You use the free archive site called Archive.today, which stores snapshots of web pages.
If the article which you want to read, has already archived, it would prompt you that it is available.
You can read it right away. If not, then you have to wait for awhile for it to load and archive the article.
This is what you do:
1. Go to Archive.Today site.
2. Paste the article URL in the space provided under "My url is alive and I want to archive its content".
3. Next click the "save" button.
4. Then wait....
5. If that article has already archived, you can read it right away.
6. If it is not, then wait for it to finish loading and archiving, then you can view the complete article.
7. That's it.
METHOD TWO: Saved To Pocket
This method you use the free social bookmarking service called Pocket by Mozilla Corporation.
