Are there any communities where I can ask for people with newspaper subscriptions to donate paywalled articles? (lemmy.ca)

I am trying to get the full version of an article in AdAge, which is paywalled. Unfortunately, 13ft ladder gets blocked by AdAge's DDoS protection, Internet Archive doesn't return the full article, and my university can't help (despite having access to the publication).

However, people with subscriptions to AdAge can "donate" articles to non-paying individuals. Seeing as how I only need the one article, I am asking around online if anyone can help.

Is there a community on Lemmy where it would be appropriate to ask?

Not the answer you're looking for, but public libraries often have newspaper subscriptions that you can use to access articles.
