If I do that, I'm brought to a Google search where TFA is result #1 and this HN post is #2. If I click on #1, I hit the paywall. Is this not what is supposed to happen?

- bryanlarsen 11y agoThe point of the Google search is to take advantage of Google's "First Click Free"[1]. Quoting: "A user coming from the domain [.google.] must be able to see a minimum of 3 articles per day." 1: https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40543?hl=en&topic=11707 https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40543?hl=en...

To use the 'one weird trick' of doing a Google search, you need to send the referer info saying you came from a Google search link.
