Working around paywalls is a sanctioned HN passtime, and paywalls without workarounds are banned (though I have never seen this enforced, much to my displeasure).
- komali2 9y agoIt surprises me to read that paywalls without workarounds are banned - I've just glanced through the guidelines but haven't seen it mentioned, perhaps there's a submission-specific guideline set I'm not aware of? I rarely submit content https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- etjossem 9y agoThat guideline is in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
