I can just select "free" and click through to get the article. Admittedly they say that you can only access "a limited number of articles every month" but I think that's a reasonable compromise because:
- if like me you only stumble on the website through news aggregators like this one you probably won't have any issues to get to the article without paying,
- if on the other hand you read enough articles to hit the hard paywall then clearly you get something out of this particular website and it's not unreasonable for them to ask for you to pay for it IMO.
So I really think it's fine to post these types of articles on HN.

Most of the time I don’t find the first paragraph interesting enough to keep reading and close it. I get hit by those paywalls a lot.
