Not that I’m aware of, but you can always put archive.is in front of the url to get an archived copy that isn’t paywalled, like so: https://archive.is/www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/
But also 404 media is great and you should subscribe to them.
I wouldn’t use archive.is anymore. They tampered with the captures.
