I'm wondering why websites keep using fake paywalls when they can use a real one where the content isn't available until user verification.

They do that to let search engines index their articles. Then they switch on the paywall an hour later or so but still get a lot of traffic (which is good for advertising) when people click on the link on Google etc.
