| Also interesting how sites like this are mainstream whereas a link to a site hosting an mp3 of pirated music wouldn’t be tolerated in discussion forums like this. I think a big difference is that there’s no micro transactions or compulsory licensing for content, so it always feels patently unfair to buy a subscription to read one article. |

| Kinda hard to discuss the news when your members can't read the news. |

| In this case, it also seems like the paywall doesn't show up if you have JavaScript disabled, which I find strange, but lots of news sites are like that I think. |

| Related: Has anyone trained an LLM strictly on HN comments and linked-to articles ? I for one would get a kick out of interrogating it. |

| It's not ironic at all. The only reason the anti-paywall sites work is that the news companies in fact want some scrapers reading the full article. |
