The paywall issue has been discussed a number of times, and dang has ruled that paywalls should not be discussed in comments. I believe that the relevant rule is:
"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (Not all users see flag links; there's a small karma threshold.)"

- jrs235 10y agoFor the record, I was not complaining about there being a paywall, just informing others that there was one. And for the record here are dang's comments pertaining to paywalls: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 "It's ok to ask how to read an article or to help other users by sharing a workaround. But please do this without going on about paywalls." Sorry I wasn't aware of the new 'web' link feature.
- PeCaN 10y agoIt's really not a particularly new feature, and I swear its existence pops up every time a paywalled article is posted. Lurk more?
