Why do we still have paywalled articles on the first page?

- ryanlol 7y agoWhy not? Presumably the vast majority of HN readers can easily afford to pay for the news. I didn’t even need to sign in to my wapo account to read this article, so presumably you’ve just hit some quota.
- dwighttk 7y agoI find it irritating that Washington Post removes the url and replaces it with their homepage so that I have to go back and find the url and open it in a private tab.
- 34679 7y agoYou can open it in a private tab.
- dukoid 7y agoI think I'd switch to the browser that allows a per-site setting "always open in a private tab"
- hombre_fatal 7y agoI don't want to limit the news and what we discuss here to news outlets funded by advertisements and charity. I also want professional outlets that produce content that at least some people consider worth paying for.
- ineedasername 7y agoBecause sometimes paid content is interesting to a lot of people on HN.
