Unfortunately, many things posted to HN are not on the Internet. Paywalled links, links to articles where the publisher does the idiotic IP-based regionalization and denies access to those not in his "region", etc.
I believe HN should make a rule that only links to things on the Internet are allowed. If it's not readable by anyone with an IP address, it shouldn't be on HN.
- oneeyedpigeon 3y agoAgreed; clicking on a paywall link is such an unedifying experience. Direct links to paywalled content should almost always be avoided, not just on HN!
