-- Annoyed about not being able to read an article.
-- Have a straightforward way to read the article (that's even automated by HN's [web] link).
-- Decide can't be bothered to read the article after all.
-- Pipe up and moan to everyone in the virtual train carriage about the article's website.
ASSESSMENT: Waste of attention! Just another mutation of bikeshedding.
- therealidiot 10y agoThe web link doesn't always do the trick for me. It's a shame Google continues to index websites that it doesn't work for.
- paulpauper 10y agogoogle should: de-index pages that have paywalls apply penalties to pages that have those annoying 'welcome' screens (forbes.com). The penalty wouln;'t be substantial, but instead would rank the page lower than similar content that does not have annoying welcome screen.
- mbreedlove 10y ago> -- Have a straightforward way to read the article (that's even automated by HN's [web] link). That's not obvious. I had no idea what the "web" link did until you mentioned it. You could have easily just pointed that out rather than berating me. You're not helping to build the community.
- frou_dh 10y agoYou said you already knew about the Google route. That's all that link is.
