Lots of NYTimes articles on HN lately. While I think most of the topics are worthy of the front page, it really sucks when you hit their "10 articles a month" pay wall. Wish posters would look for alternative, free versions of some of these stories (I'm aware that might not always be possible).
- pash 14y agoThe Times's paywall is so porous that this really isn't much of a problem. The content still loads behind the JavaScript overlay, so you can use Safari's Reader or a similar browser plugin to read the articles. You can also get around the paywall by reloading the page in a private/incognito window, etc. I subscribe to the Times but have never bothered even to log in to the website on my iPhone, since I can always just click the Reader button—which I would do anyway—to read the article when I get paywalled.
- pi18n 14y agoIf you are hitting their pay wall every month, may I suggest you subscribe to the Times? You obviously want to read their content at least that much. To get that kind of quality writing isn't free, the writers really have spent years on their craft (a close family member of mine is a journalist). I don't subscribe, but I typically am not interested in their articles more than a couple times each month.
