Kind of like a red-team / blue team approach. I generally do this kind of thing informally... But it's probably worth my while to more formalize it as even the simplest things provide tons of value.

We also call this "rude questioning" which is critical to find weak arguments and strengthen others.

I've been tricked into clicking a link behind a paywall.

Understood subscriptions is your biz model.

But lifting the embargo on the occasional attract-mode post is a much better experience.
