It’s going to be hard for me to take this seriously on a website where the traditional way to read WSJ and NYT articles is by using services that violate the newspaper ToS. It just sounds like pseudo-sanctimony.
- rootusrootus 8y agoI agree in principle, but you are unfairly painting every person on HN as if they agree with such behavior.
- scarejunba 8y agoCertainly I find it suspicious if both views are simultaneously upvoted. If you must, read my comment as impugning the integrity of those who actually hold both views. Considering that both the view that TOS are sacrosanct and the view that HN readers should have paywall free access to these news sources are widely popular and have few, if any, detractors, I’m quite comfortable saying what I did.
