#When archive.md 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.md 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 only appears to work for articles published prior to sometime in the 1920s though. Attempting the trick for articles published after a certain point in that time range simply results to going to the same immediate paywall with "?pdf_redirect=true&site=false" added to the URL.

In addition for NY Times articles prior to sometime in the 1920s, the TimesMachine trick won't work if a link to such isn't directly provided at the bottom of the page. This occurrence is less common, though can still be the case sometimes.
