Thanks..I don't understand why people continue linking WSJ even due the fact that not everybody has a subscription with them

  Perhaps they are WSJ shills.

    That's a very unlikely explanation. Newspapers do have a rather wide reach, especially compared with primary sources like the grandparent provided. This is because their content is not only designed to be shared, it's also promoted by the respective brands content platform. That way they get more views and, by extension, get posted on HN/reddit/etc. with a higher frequency.

  Probably be cause they found an interesting article there and didn’t realize it was available elsewhere (and sometimes it actually isn’t).
