Yeah, HN is surely a huge source of traffic for the WSJ...

  More likely they don't want to upset them

    It is my pleasure to confirm that not upsetting the Wall Street Journal appears nowhere on HN's list of priorities. Complaints about paywalled submissions have become so repetitive lately that I think we're going to add this issue to the FAQ and declare it off-topic in the threads. It's fine to suggest an equally good article that isn't paywalled; if it really is equally good, we'll happily swap the URL. It's also fine to ask or share with other users how to read an article. But it's not fine for dozens of threads to bog down with the same generic complaints when this issue has been decided.
