While this is tangential to the topic, I would argue that there are better uses of time than figuring out how to get past a paywall for some article I likely won't remember in a week anyways.
If it's really that important, I would further argue that there will be other people writing about the same topic, so why not link to those other people?
- DanBC 13y agoLink to those other people if they are good articles. The best version of an article should be linked to, even if it's behind a paywall. Perhaps HN users could agree on tagging any articles that are paywalled? Of course, they might not have hit the paywall limit and might not know thT the article is paywalled.
- cweagans 13y agoActually, that sounds like an awesome compromise. A tag on a paywalled article is enough of a heads up to not even bother for me (assuming, of course, that this is enough of a bother to anyone else to even consider implementing).
