Making snotty, leading assumptions about people complaining about bait-and-switch links is a poor way to make one's point. Perhaps you actually do subscribe to literally every site with links posted here; I'm going to guess that most regulars here don't.
I actually do not mind links I can't hit being posted here, where it shows the domain the link goes to. That's as good as a '[paywalled]' indicator.
I do really hate it elsewhere where you can't tell before hovering the link, and think they should be optionally excludable from search engine searches, or at the very least tagged as such - I'm did not search for "media subscription pages".
