This was definitively broadcast by a Tell HN post[0] that 'dang made 9 years ago. He has been consistent in his communication of the HN policies around paywalls across many comments every year, increasingly so over the past year.[1] Submitters should note that "hard" paywalls are banned. If readers can't use something like archive.today, 12ft.io, or archive.org to get around the paywall, then the article is not allowed. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 1: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=paywall%20author%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

  Thanks for pointing me to Bypass Paywall Clean. I often wish that either Safari's extension ecosystem/API wasn't so anemic, or even better, Apple provided Safari with actually-effective ad-blockers and paywall readers.

    As far as Safari-compatible ad blocking extensions, I've been reasonably satisfied with AdGuard, and it's free with some paid nice-to-haves which I don't use, but hear good things about. It's available on nearly every browser and operating system, including Android and iOS. It's also open source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdGuard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdGuard https://adguard.com https://adguard.com https://github.com/AdguardTeam https://github.com/AdguardTeam
