I am on your side. This stuff annoys me as well and I've posted about it in the past to no effect. The trailing tracking garbage in urls should be algorithmically removed. If this results in a paywall access block, then posts with such domain names should be blocked. It is absolutely not reasonable to post links that lead to paywalls because that is clearly and by definition, spam. Posting a link in the hope that it will result in someone buying something is totally different from posting a link to something that is news or discussion worthy. Posting commercial links such as all paywalls are is fundamentally spamming and is reasonably removed, blocked, and the poster banned.
- mrout 9y agoI think some people just copy-and-paste links and don't bother to remove that stuff because they're so used to the cruft. Maybe that's naivety on my part.
