Just because you don’t subscribe to the time doesn’t mean other people don’t and therefore shouldn’t get to talk about some of their incredible investigations, or discuss a crazy business story in the journal. You and your friends are not the only consumers in the world.
- tyingq 5y agoI suppose that works if you and all your friends have an identical list of subscriptions. It only works on HN because we use things like archive.is or browser extensions to go around it. If it weren't possible to work around it, it would die off pretty quickly as a discussion.

If it weren't possible to work around it, it would die off pretty quickly as a discussion. Some of the most interesting and informative things I've read on HN were comments on articles I did not read. I almost always read the comments before reading the article, and a significant fraction of the time I don't even try to read the article after seeing the comments.
