Ask HN: Should we have a $ symbol for premium content
It feels to me that the amount of shared articles which are behind a paywall are rising.
I wonder if HN’s usability would improve if these article would be marked with ($) or so.
I often click there for a cheap read on my commute and find it annoying when seeing a paywall rather than the article.
- tobylane 8y agoSome of them are aoft paywalls. Others are easily defeatable, though it may not be legal to link to a readable link.
- Tomte 8y agoCan the forum software reliably detect that? I find that „feature“ unimportant, but if it‘s something the submitter must do, I‘m strongly against it. I would ignore such a rule, unless there‘s near-unanimous consensus.

- bradknowles 8y agoYes. There are work-arounds, sure. Maybe you could even build them into the submission process. But they should still be identified to begin with.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoI'd like to filter out certain domains, for instance there is no point in me visiting latimes.com because they block the EU.
