I just installed this a couple days ago and already used it twice. It's super easy and convenient.

This is amazing!!

What sites do you use it for?

Mostly some news sites I really don't want to support but want to see one article of

I wish I had even half the braincells required to understand the installation for this.

Seems to have some severe bugs: https://github.com/wasi-master/13ft/issues

Just a grammatical nitpick in the readme but as a compound adjective it would be 13-foot Ladder. "That ladder is 13 feet tall" vs "That is a 13-foot tall ladder".

How does this, (or 12ft.io for that matter) actually work? Client-side trickery? Magic cookies? Something like adblock?
EDIT: Apparently it just blocks JS and disguises itself as an SE crawler. This still doesn't work on sites like Bloomberg, and if I understand correctly nothing can be done there.
I use the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension in Firefox to access Bloomberg, among others. I had it installed before it got taken down, so be careful where you get it from nowadays.
The author moved the project to GitFlic: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads
I've never gotten even the original 12ft to work a single time. Bypass Paywalls Clean is the only thing that has worked for me incredibly consistently
