What happens to me is that sometime I do not realize I am sharing a link that I can see while my friends cannot (maybe because I always clean cookies at every Firefox start, so websites think I am a new user, so I am allowed to see something for awhile?)

Anyhow, you are more then right!

Btw: a great trick somebody published in HN some years ago still works well for many websites: just add a dot (".") at the end of the domain (not the end of the URL), and the website treats you like an anonymous (so it often lets you see content and bypass the pay wall): I do it with the Guardian, all the time, so

https://www.theguardian.com./international

instead of

https://www.theguardian.com/international

(you can even use this https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/ plugin to automatically rewrite some urls by adding that dot at the end)
