- AlbertCory 4y agoExposing my ignorance here, but: how does archive get past the paywalls? Is it just subscribed to everything? Or maybe it's a volunteer effort by people who are subscribed?
- KMag 4y agoRoughly 20 years ago, setting your user-agent string to match Googlebot was a magic key through most paywalls. These days, paywalls almost certainly also check against lists of known search engine IP addresses.
- snowwrestler 4y agoPretty sure it is the latter.

- deadbolt 4y agoYou're on a site titled hacker news and you can't find a way to get past paywalled content, and you feel it's more important to ban the submissions from paywalled content, rather than find a way around it? Why should the submissions be changed because you personally can't view them? Edit: If you want to downvote, at least answer my question.
- dang 4y agoThis question was decided many years ago. The paywalls are annoying and suck, but HN would be far worse off without articles from NYT, WSJ, Economist, and similar publications. (Note: I'm not saying all their articles are good. Just some of them.) https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=paywalls%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 One of these years the publishing industry will get its act together and there will be an actual solution to this problem, but in the meantime, allowing paywalls that have workarounds and excluding paywalls that don't have workarounds is the local optimum.
