Please stop posting paywalled articles. There are all kinds of arguments for paying for quality news and whatever, but I'll never pay for WSJ and I simply don't care enough to bother with circumvention. If people want to try the paywall thing let them build the wall. Lets stop peeking over the top though shall we?
- ksk 10y agoI kind of agree with you but I am not sure of the principle at play here. Because I wonder how that would apply if we gave equal status to all outputs of human labor. For e.g. You need to spend money to buy a macbook, so why link to a review? Or you need to buy a book to read it, so why should comments be able to link to a book? etc etc. OTOH we could simply downvote and move on? :)
- cypherpunks01 10y agoSee https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 I do wish that paywall articles could be tagged as such though.
- yohoho22 10y agoMaybe if there was a little more encouragement of non-paywalled submissions, where possible? Here's a Bloomberg article that seems to cover mostly the same ground as this WSJ piece, for example: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-22/pilot-strike-could-hurt-amazon-s-air-operation-during-holidays https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-22/pilot-str... Sometimes the WSJ or NYT or whoever just has something to offer that others do not. In many cases, though, it seems like there's other paywall-free reporting that could work basically as well.
