- hotsauceror 8y agoI’ve wondered that, too. It pisses me off to no end. WSJ is the worst, but the Washington Post, Economist, and Bloomberg are hot on their heels.
- medecau 8y agoI've been flagging those. It doesn't seem to have any effect though.
- grzm 8y ago> "I have no idea why no one else has mentioned this." It certainly has been mentioned before. It's a FAQ: > "Are paywalls ok?" > "It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds." > "In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
- mastrsushi 8y agoIm away from a desktop, but on mobile WSJ has no workaround, as far as I know. I signed in with Google and still had to register a payed subscription.
