Seems the problem is then with user behavior, not the link.
There is no rule that people have to comment on articles they can't read. Seems backwards to forbid interested people from linking to and discussing an article in earnest just to reduce posting from bullshitters.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Seems the problem is then with user behavior, not the link Perhaps in a sense, but many things that are discouraged by the rules (including paywalled articles without effective workarounds) are discouraged because they are observed to contribute to undesirable user behavior to a degree that responsibility g tomthe individual undesirable behaviors reactively is an inadequate remedy.
