So a link on a Hackers' site suggests me to buy subscription in order to obtain information about (possibly important) social topic. Is it acceptable for hackers' culture these days?

- lcedp 13y agoI don't mind anybody paying whatever they wish for and I'm well aware about user-agents, tor and stuff. Though paywall link on hackers site looks unnatural to me. It's all about sharing and openness. At list informational content should be accessible. "oh look such a tragic story, keep your children safe subscribers (we don't care about non-subscribers' kids, though)"
