Yeah, and also get rid of links to software that costs money, because that's free advertising, too!

- sixtypoundhound 10y agoEh - no problem with free advertising. A good chunk of what is posted on hacker news has some kind of profit motive or self-promotion attached it it. My frustration with hard-core paywall sites is that most of the community is blocked (or has to jump through hoops) to read the content.
- joekrill 10y agoThe equivalent in this case would be if you couldn't even know what their software DID without paying for it. Hacker news is a forum for discussing topics. How can you possible discuss an article you can't read? You can, however, discuss a piece of software based on it's intended purpose.
