- NicoJuicy 10y agoThis doesn't help anymore ( or it is because i already surfed to it). But i read that it is not possible anymore on another topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12680380#unv_12680507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12680380#unv_12680507 They "upgraded" their paywall game. Also, the first topic with the most votes is ALWAYS a link to another article with the same information or a TLDR; for those who can't access the paywalled article. Please just ban the wsj domain, so people would search for an alternative article immediatly. This is, after all, what wsj seems to want :)
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoI second the banning of paywalled domains; trying to maintain hacks and workarounds for each and every popular third-party just doesn't seem worth it in the long-run. HN should be for open discussion on content that is freely available to all rather than locked down.
- NicoJuicy 10y agoLet's discuss? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12683017 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12683017
- cronjobber 10y agoYet by not banning WSJ, maybe HN is making people annoyed at WSJ, damaging their brand, driving traffic to competitors, and teaching people to just rely on peer provided TLDRs instead of journalists, all of which might hurt WSJ more than just banning them... I guess we'll never know :)
- 7Z7 10y agoFWIW, it still works fine for me.
- kuschku 10y agoThat stopped working for me a few weeks ago (I'm in Germany, using Firefox Nightly latest). Even from Google I only get the paywall now.
- return0 10y agoThat is nowhere near obvious. Why not change the main link to the google search page instead?
