Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

in other words, its not ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that do not have workarounds.

uh, I did not know: what I saw, so far, is that paywalled submission appears and then some volunteer would reply with a workaround... (many thanks to them)

right. there is no requirement that the submitter provides the workaround themselves.

the requirement is that a workaround exists. sometimes nice commenters will provide the workaround, but again, the only requirement is that it is possible to workaround the paywall.

ah, great.

Super clear now, thank you.
