I think it is a bit harsh. Most of the initial commenters couldn't read the article due to paywall, that seems very on-topic. http://archive.is/l5uLn http://archive.is/l5uLn works well to paywall-bypass. > If you have an issue with that then you should have HN shouldn't allow paywalled sites/articles to be posted. I'm a bit torn about that. These are good articles, they should be posted/discussed. You could link to things like the paywall bypass link I sent instead, but, there are infinite variations of those so you could end up with infinite threads about the same article which seems like a poor solution.
