WSJ is great, and also paywalled for most

  Since there are workarounds, it's ok for HN purposes. Users usually post workarounds in the thread. This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=paywalls%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989

    Honestly, I wish social media had a way to filter for paid media. All the free news feels like a race to the bottom.

    ... I agree? It sounds like you believe I'm saying they shouldn't be posted or that wSJ breaks guidelines (of which I've said neither), rather than provide an explanation as to why this may have been chosen over another source?

      Sorry, I think I misunderstood you - usually when people post like that they're complaining about paywalls or advocating for not allowing them here. (Moderation is pattern matching and a short comment will tend to get matched as the most common pattern in a bucket unless there's enough information to establish otherwise.)
