Is there a way to block the paywall prompt that shows up after you've read a certain number of articles?
No way. Sometimes certain paywalls can be bypassed but only because have some bug.
OK I thought this one might be possible because the article is visible underneath the paywall prompt. Thanks.

I don't see the paywall you're describing, however, there is unblocked tracking and ads.
Unblocked ads:

If you read a few articles, it will prompt you to pay to continue reading.
Now Easylist blocks the prompt that tells you you've hit the paywall so you only see a grayed out screen. Is it possible to unblock the paywall overlay? I don't think it's possible to bypass the paywall entirely.

Check from your side.

2. add this filter

Super cool, thank you.
I did that and I added the filter, but I still get a gray overlay on articles which I think is a remnant of the paywal overlay.

Here is a paste of my filters from uBo, if it helps:
