The crawler identifies itself as a "robot" which can get past the paywall. When you browse using Chrome the site behaves differently. That's why it's so easy to get past by pasting the link into archive.ph

Or by using a browser addon that changes the way the browser identifies itself to pretend it's a search engine crawler.
