And here's the explanation on why the trick works: when opening a news source with a paywall, the latter usually does not pop-up until very briefly after the moment you open the article. The emphasis here is that the pop-up shows ''after'' the exact moment the webpage is opened, because the manner in which archive.is archives webpages can be explained by either or both of the following two suppositions:

#Pop-ups and certain features in an archived page don't function as they normally do in the actual webpage. For example, when archiving a tweet which contains a video, the video can't be played in the archived page.

#When archive.is archives a webpage, it only inspects what it looks like when immediately opened, and not what it may look like several moments after opening it.

Now, not all paywalls can be bypassed, unfortunately. Only paywalls that act as pop-ups can be bypassed when using the archive.is trick. If you're trying to access an article from ''The New York Times'' from a century ago, the content you can see for free is restricted, and there is often a link saying "View Full Article In TimesMachine." When clicking on that link, the immediate page which shows up is a paywall, not one that acts as a pop-up appearing moments after opening the page. In the vast majority of instances, there's no way to bypass this. However, once in a while, you can modify the URL by changing the ".html" at the end to ".pdf" and successfully access the full version. This is rare though. Attempting the trick most of the time simply results to going to the same immediate paywall with "?pdf_redirect=true&site=false" added to the URL.
