This article is paywalled with no workaround. My understanding was that HN did not allow such links. Economist.com links, if they are all hard-paywalled like this, should be blacklisted.
- godelzilla 7y agoAgreed. It's impossible to have a reasonable discussion about an article that barely anybody can actually read.
- dang 7y agoUsers usually post workarounds in the threads. They did in this thread.
- downandout 7y agoA “workaround” doesn’t mean someone posting a link to Outline or a similar service. It means having a way to access the content on the site itself. Economist.com links should be blacklisted, because they have no workaround. If Outline is required to read a given article, then the main link on the submission should go to Outline. You seem to be stickler for the rules, so I can’t understand your position on this.
