I was able to view the entire contents (annoyingly spread across many pages) without pop-ups, a sign in page or any issues at all. I'd politely suggest that on HN, designed for those technically minded in the sphere, you should be able to cure your own browsing problems. Whitelists, AdBlock, Ghostery, NoScript, HTTPS everywhere and so on and so forth should fix any issues you have. You are perfectly able to choose when / where ad revenues are paid, rather than being tied to someone elses business model.

> You are perfectly able to choose when / where ad revenues are paid, rather than being tied to someone elses business model. You can do that by just not visiting the website. I find it to be a lot more worthwhile because you actually find legitimate alternatives instead of [in my personal opinion] cheating the system.

Of course I can install Adblock, noscript, and so on. It's reasonable to consider that on HN, where many technical people are, many of us are thinking about user experience, and ways of writing, presenting, and monetizing content. I was really more fishing for interesting perspectives about those topics, rather than a polite lecture about the wonders of ad block. But thanks for the ideas!
