It's relevant enough to get you to click on the link, then read through comments, and leave a long comment.
If you want a good discussion for a topic you like, go pay for access to it. Nowhere in HN rules does it say that content cannot be behind paywalls.

- oh_sigh 6y agoI didn't know it was paywalled before I clicked the link. I came into the comments to see if someone posted an alternate non-paywalled source. My "long comment" was a meta comment about paywalled articles on HN, not about the article itself. Me paying for access to an article will not generate a good discussion by itself, because discussions almost necessarily involve multiple parties. I never claimed that HN banned paywall content. I don't want to be mean but literally every sentence in your post is off base or just wrong in some manner.
