>what I saw, so far, is that paywalled submission appears and then some volunteer would reply with a workaround.

right. there is no requirement that the submitter provides the workaround themselves.

the requirement is that a workaround exists. sometimes nice commenters will provide the workaround, but again, the only requirement is that it is possible to workaround the paywall.

ah, great.

Super clear now, thank you.
