nobody can see the damned article. That's not true. Agreed that some are having issues, and it's not clear why, and I agree that's a problem. That said, some are not. I don't have a subscription and the web link works for me. You've gone on about the paywall without acknowledging that you've tried the suggested workarounds which were already posted in the thread. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13377234 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13377234 It's one thing to express what you've tried and what doesn't work for you. It's another to continue complaining about it without recognizing that it's not a universal problem. Please show some nuance.

You appear to be the one and only person that this worked for. As I stated in my original comment, clicking over from Google (which is the entire point of the "web" link) doesn't solve it. I don't know why it solved it for you, but judging from the comments on this article it literally only worked for you. This is a problem on all FT links. From here on out I will simply automatically flag any FT link on HN. When you say "some are not," you actually only mean "I am not". Please show some regard for other people.

  Looking back over the past few days of ft.com submissions, others do report success: - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13302315 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13302315 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13308163 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13308163 As I said, I agree it's a problem. Quite a few people are indeed having issues viewing ft.com submissions. If I knew what was different about my setup and why it works, I'd be sure to share. Safari 10.0.2, Ghostery 5.4.10 blocking all 4 trackers, in the US. If you think ft.com submissions should be blocked, I suggest contacting the mods (see contact link in the footer).

  > You appear to be the one and only person that this worked for. It worked for me on my iPhone over T-Mobile's LTE network. It is now working for me at home from Safari on my Mac over Comcast. In both cases, I hit the "web" link, and click on the top result.
