I can't read it and if I want to subscribe they want me to subscribe using Google and after reading your title I feel lost in an endless maze

Somehow it made it to the top of HN, do that many people subscribe?

  It has 16 upvotes now. That's something that even a low effort bot can do.

Ironically, hitting „web” and opening the article from a google search results page, works.

  It doesn't, but no one really moderates HN.

    There absolutely are moderators who do a good and thoughtful job. This post has been up for 23 minutes at this time. Chill for a second and they'll get to it. Jesus.

  From the FAQ [0]: "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." [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

Reading articles online in social media has evolved into social and collaborative effort where most people don't have to read the article itself. HOWTO for (de facto) collaborative and delegated reading in the social media: 1/ You can upvote and comment articles based on the title without reading the article itself. If the subject is interesting, you agree with the title or you want to know more, upvote. When the article gains enough popularity and attention, the collaborative reading happens in three batches of comments. 2/ First batch of comments is from people who didn't read the article but want to say something or steer the discussion. They either use the title as writing cue to write what they think, or try to guess the article content and comment on it. 3/ Second batch is comments to the first batch from those who skimmed the article and correct the misconceptions the first batch of commenters had and provide information from the article. 4/ Third batch of comments comes from those who read the article or are subject experts or both. They correct the first and second batch comments and even correct errors in the original article. Sometimes the third batch never happens and the quality of the community reading suffers.
