- johnward 12y agoIt's not helpful, even if they break it first, if you cannot read the actual article.
- ep103 12y agoThe title alerted you to the news, you can search for coverage on other outlets after it breaks.
- usea 12y agoThe submitter can find another outlet and submit that. Submitting a paywall article is like submitting an item with no link at all, with text content "google it."
- tree_of_item 12y ago> you can search The whole point of this site is so I don't have to search, I just have to come here.
- bowlofpetunias 12y agoThe site is called Hacker News, not Hacker Support broken business models that keep content off the open web but get traffic by faking it. For the majority of readers here there is no news at the end of that link, just and advert for the WSJ's paywalled services. It's effectively spam for most of us.
