That's a violation of HN guidelines.
- pksebben 3y agoIs it really? TIL, thanks. edit: Arguable. I assume your referring to: Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter. ...and I might argue that an archive of the original is just as good, judging by the verbiage referring to "If a post reports on...". Archive links don't change, remove, or add any context, they just make it accessible. I suppose if we wanted to know this in specifics, it'd be a question for dang.
- itsoktocry 3y agoPosting paywalled links should be, as well. It's borderline marketing. If I pay for the source, I don't need to find it on HN.
- swyx 3y agonot true. hn surfaces quality and adds discussion. and the people who wrote the content need acknowledgement/attribution, and some conversion to paying, or they'll eventually stop. do you think good reporting/writing just falls from the sky?
- uaserussia 3y agoIt comes from imputing the facts into GPT 3.5 and asking it to write an article.
- amingilani 3y agoSorry, what is? It isn’t to post or ask for archival links. It’s only a contravention if someone complains about paywalls.
- sp332 3y agoWhen I try posting archived links, they are auto-dead.
