- grzm 10y agoPaying for news is arguably one of the ways to improve news quality, and quality news is valued by many HN users. The submission includes the source. If you don't want to visit a paywalled source, HN already provides you with the information you need to make that decision. Here's a comment from 'dang (one of the HN mods) on this topic from about a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13057425 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13057425): Paywalled articles are different. That's a settled matter on HN. The rule is that paywalled articles are ok when there's a workaround: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 Yes, the paywalls suck, but it would suck worse to deprive HN of the better NYT, WSJ, Economist, New Yorker, etc., articles.
