If you're asking why sometimes people post, e.g. 'https://archive.md/oE13T https://archive.md/oE13T', as single comment (example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29012142 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29012142), that's a work-around for paywalled articles. Usually somebody will ask (or complain) that the article is behind a paywall, lately users post the work-around even before somebody asks.
