No they don’t get anything, but they are not allowed to share PDFs. They are allowed to share a link to a webviewer, even via social media. Preprints are also allowed.

Alternatively, you can contact/ask the people who wrote the paper if they can send you a copy of it. Usually they’ll gladly send it to you for free. I don’t believe they get any of the profit from the journal subscriptions/purchases. So they have no incentive to withhold it from anyone.

Except of you are doing research you’d need to write hundreds of emails asking for a paper, just to then find out that it doesn’t contain the specific piece of information you are looking for.
