uBlock blocks ads. It does not make visible what isn't transferred.

This, however, does (the article, stripped of its paywall)

Actually, it does more than just block ads. Most pages which are behind a paywall can still be accessed if you disable Javascript. Disabling Javascript is one of uBlock's features.

Obviously, some administrators have found ways to block content behind a paywall without just using Javascript.

Archived articles are awkward to read on mobile, so I don't usually use that unless I really, really want to read something.
