> It is interesting that sites like HN have existed for decades and still don't have any real solution for this sort of problem. Heck, I find it odd that we don't even try to model the problem, let alone solve. For example, there's no submitter-tickbox for "this requires additional access", no icon to distinguish between the kinds of items, and and we don't even an informal convention like putting [paywall] in the title. Without even tracking that information, it's very difficult to address the pain-points, such as allowing the submitter to preemptively provide alternate links, or allowing readers to select against certain sites they've already decided they won't subscribe to.
