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.
- reaperducer 8y agoAlso, complaining about paywalls assumes that everyone on HN doesn't subscribe to the publication in question. Some of us actually support journalism by paying for news. The NYT, for example, is running a special right now at $2/week. Considering the number of Times articles that land on the HN front page, it seems like a worthwhile investment.

- dhimes 8y agoBefore I saw this submission I posted from Chronicle of Higher Ed. But I don't know if it's paywalled or not since I subscribe to that (and to WaPo, fwiw).
