I didn't claim that paywalled articles are not on topic as submissions, I claimed that short, dismisive, substance-free, non-contributing, non-constructive comments whining about paywalls when the article is not about paywalls, are not on topic as comments. Had I read the FAQ more closely, I would have pointed directly at the entry "please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic." in defense of flagging and downvoting said comments.
