Why does a VPN matter? Does LA Times block access from a VPN? How would they know?

What happens when you click on the LA Times link? I don't subscribe and I get no paywall myself:

But here's an archived copy that I just created since there was none already: https://archive.ph/8cOco

As for the Bluesky link, I believe everyone should have read access by default, but it was just a screenshot of the text I included from Seth's research article. His stuff IS behind a paywall, though you can click some buttons to get free 1-time access.
