I think it has been like that for a while. ~~It's not paywalled, but rather account-walled~~ (edit: I was wrong)

There may also be different versions of the article, since I don't always come across the wall

It seems about half of their articles are behind a subscription wall, and the other half are behind a paywall. It might be annoying, but I understand that journalistic outlets at least need to make money
