It would be nice if HN posts could include an "alt link" which would be paywall free. (like an archive.is link or similar)

- lostgame 5y agoThe sad thing is; the admins here have, for reasons I can’t understand - taken a massive stance on not only allowing paywalled links, but featuring them; which is obviously a lot worse. There’s a ton of opportunities here to use (paywall), or simply use an alternative link. The admins here don’t, won’t; and sadly, worst off - discourage comments like this. I will never read a paywalled article on HN, by principle alone. I don’t come here to see information I have to pay for. I don’t think anyone here does.
