I really wonder at the bounce rate for articles with a sign-in wall. I can't imagine the kind of person who actually creates an account when faced with that wall, especially when the website is also promising to send spam emails.
The price of using the internet now is solving CAPTCHAs at archive.is (and friends), plugging in the "desired" URL and waiting for an archived page.
I have a bunch of CAPTCHA solvers plugged into Firefox, so I don't have to pass the eye exam repeatedly.

Other paywall bypasses exist.
