The AFR (Nine) keeps most of its business and markets reporting behind a hard subscriber wall, and the live page rarely gives up the text. Archived copies often do — probed Sep 2026, 2 of 3 opened via archive.today at about 550–600 words — but only about one in six real reader attempts succeeds, because the newest stories are often not archived yet.
