Hacker News is not the place to post paywalled content, whether you believe the reasons are valid or not.

  Rules are a bit more subtle: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html (see: "Are paywalls ok?")

    In fact, the only thing the rules call out as not ok with regards to pay walls is complaining about them.

      ... or posting paywalled links that don't have work-arounds.

  It is according to the faq[0] --- Are paywalls ok? It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

    i really hope substack takes off, the strategy behind pay content is much more responsible than javascript "walls"

  It should be pointed out that Corbet himself has come out in support of subscriber links posted here and at other places. That's why they provided that capability. That said it shouldn't be abused and I suspect if it ends up becoming too much they might remove that ability. I agree with one of the other posters, we should support quality journalism, and lwn definitely is.
