The downvotes are presumably because the community doesn't like repetitiveness in comments. It's a topic that's been discussed to death and the community consensus is well-established: as there's a workaround to the paywall, it's a legit submission. No big deal. I'd expect a polite request for help getting around the paywall probably would've been much more warmly received.
