Paywall
- DanBC 9y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 > Publications like NYT, WSJ, the Economist, and the New Yorker have paywalls that leave ways for readers to work around them. Such stories are OK to post to Hacker News. Yes, the workarounds are a nuisance, but the loss of many substantive articles would be worse. In the future, when someone doesn't understand this, please politely direct them to this thread or to HN's FAQ [1], which now makes this explicit.
