Ask HN: What’s the consensus on Paywalls?
Now that New York Times limits free reads to 10 a month, I find myself avoiding their articles. What is your view on paywalls? Good practice? Will it last?

- ziddoap 7y agoI don't have anything particular against them, really. I understand the need for companies to make money, and I respect that they are trying to do so in a way that doesn't involve advertisements. That said, even the ones with paywalls still seem to have many ads and even more trackers. When I come against a paywall, I try to see the article on outline.com or the wayback machine or whatever. If I cant, I skip it.
