Do you let your web browser save cookies or DOM Storage between web
sessions?  I configure mine (Firefox) to purge all its locally cached
data on its exit, so no cookies for relogin on revisit to a web site in
a later web session.

Do you have an account, free or paid, at that web site?

For me without an account there, a portion of the page gets obliterated
with a popup window or rollup shade that requires me to create an
account or login to an existing account to see the rest of the article
(i.e., remove the popup or shade that overlaps and obliterates a portion
of the web page).

I can visit their home page:
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/
I can navigate to their business section:      
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/
I see the MS article about Skype in their business page, and click on it
to go to that article which is at the URL you gave.  It's is then that I
get the obliterating popup or roll-in shade saying I need to create or
log into an account.

They let visitors drill only so far into their web site, and then
require a login.

Did you actually visit the URL you gave to view the article?  Or did you
see the article linked on their business page, and copy its URL (i.e.,
you linked to the article, but didn't actually visit that web page)?
