> discourages overly aggressive flagging
I recently posted a tweet from pg [0] and as it starts getting some momentum, suddenly got flagged by someone who believes it is paywalled because Twitter rolled out the must-be-logged-to-view feature. It got unfairly flagged despite I provided the full tweet as a comment.

- plorkyeran 3y agoIt may also have been flagged simply because pg tweeting yet again about Musk is one of the least interesting submissions possible.

Your link isn't accessible to a non-insignificant portion of the HN audience, therefore it seems reasonable to flag it. It isn't reasonable to expect/force people to read comments before flagging content for being inaccessible.
- halfdan 3y agoI think you misread the latter part of the sentence - OP said they provided the raw text in a comment. This is no different than some other paywalled articles posted here where the first comment usually just links to the web archive for a non-paywalled version.
