I started to notice some people posting NYT, Bloomberg or other websites with hard paywalls, that leads to people in the comments that are unable to read the article to discuess the headline without any analysis and some times spreading misinformation, which cannot be countered by the article, due to the paywall.

Which bring me to this: Why does no one thought about blocking hard paywalled articles for the sake of quality of discussion?

    Some of us subscribe to some of them, sometimes they’re gift links, other times we can use archive.is or the Wayback machine to get access. Bonus points when these mirror links are in the post body.

    It’s important to link the canonical source though.
