Meta: Do the majority of people on HN have WSJ subscriptions? Or is there some other way to view these articles? I see something from the WSJ get to the front page at least once every couple weeks. My gut tells me that either people just only read & comment on the first paragraph, or they're reading the articles for free some other way.
- friedman23 7y agoI pay money for the WSJ, in my opinion it's the best newspaper available today. Washington Post is a distant second.

- mlb_hn 7y agoI have a WSJ subscription. I don't know of any easy way around their paywall, makes it one of the special cases for scraping because you would actually need to login.
- dang 7y agoUsers nearly always post workarounds in the threads. You can find such a link in this thread. Admittedly it can be a pain to look for, once many comments have appeared.
