WSJ and other publications clearly welcome readers bypassing their paywall when they land via Facebook and other referrers. Are you saying it's OK to give people a hard time for reading the content for free when they enter via Facebook, but not via a different channel? It seems a fine point to make a big deal out of.
- paulcole 8y agoI try to blur the line between pedantry and shitposting.
- tomhoward 8y agoI realise I muddled my words in the previous comment, but I think you get the point. WSJ themselves are welcoming of non-paying readers from certain channels. So it seems a bit mean-spirited to hound people and liken them to criminals for doing what the publisher welcomes under only marginally different circumstances.
