That is good to know. But I looked this up and what I've found is Jonathan Corbet saying in 2010 that "occasional" posting of subscriber links is fine.[1]
I am not Jonathan Corbet so I don't know what he considers occasional. But this is the fourth LWN subscriber link posted in the past 7 days, and the eighth in the past 14 days.[2]
For reference, LWN currently lists 10 paywalled posts, the oldest from 13 days ago.[3] Those posted on HN are nearly every paywalled article that they have.

- pabs3 4y agoAgreed, the number of subscriber links is kind of high. If it still gets them extra subscribers, then probably its ok. I guess they are monitoring the numbers on that.
