    Everyone already knows that. That's why the 'web' link is under the title.

      False and false. "Everyone already knows that." I had to click the link to find out. Also, why are you confident the submitter knew that? If the submitter knew it was a paywall, why did he submit it and not another non-paywall link with the same info? "That's why the 'web' link is under the title." Unless the status quo has changed since this post[1], the "web" link's purpose is to "[find] better sources and catching spam," not to encourage paywall sites with a handicap allowance.

          I click on all (3) of the FT.com links via google for the article, and they're ALL paywalled for me. The HN FAQ says its OK to post paywall links with the necessary condition that the paywalls have workarounds, which I assume excludes paying ;-).

              No. I'm getting a popup with 4 options -- the cheapest of which is $1/4-week-trial.
