Here's another trick for obtaining free articles: write an email to the author and ask for a copy. We have to pay to publish on journals and don't see a dime, so we really don't care if you pirate it.

And wait for days to weeks if it didn't just go into the spam folder?

Just put the penultimate draft on arxiv or researchgate like the rest of us.

Then why publish with terms like that? Aren't there better alternatives like arxiv?

I don't know. Is arxiv peer-reviewed? The "best" solution I can come up with is paying the extra 500$ fee to publish under open license, if the journal allows you.
