I don't really want to access that content, by definition. I've always said that. I use Adblock, and it's trivial for websites to detect that and make it difficult to view the content. I fully support their right to do so, and if they do, I'll just close the tab as soon as I realize there's no content there. It's really not a problem.

Someone at work sends you a link to the WSJ asking for your comments on it (a thought piece on a competitor? who knows). The WSJ is now available only through an app. How do you deal with this?

A hypothetical, but your web experience could become collateral damage as well.

Sending links to protected content is considered bad manners, even if only registration or login via Facebook required. I would ask that person to send me printed PDF copy of that article instead of link.

I say "I cannot read anything on that link you sent me."

Read it later when around a computer, perhaps?
