Cant we all agree that posting paywalled content is a little bit misaligned with the virtue of HN? Even if someone opens it up in the comments later.

You've been complaining about this for years now, have you still not read the FAQ for this site?

The virtue of HN is depriving journalists of income? Or paying for everything with data and attention?

Some of us regretfully pay for the New Yorker.

Is it paywalled? Not sure why I can access the article, then. (Firefox, Windows, uBlock Origin)

Do you have JavaScript off? That also works, as the article is hidden after it’s shown.

No, I don’t only want personal blogs and content that’s supported by ads. And you should know how to bypass paywalls by now.

Doesn't matter. They're instututionally incapable to rising back to the art of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", so it's all water under the bridge.

I'm not sure how people asking to be paid for their labour is against the virtue of a board run by a venture capitalist entity.

Not sure what you mean - capitalists famously hate paying for labor.

it sounds like we can't all agree, but frankly I also think the writing on the wall is that there won't be much out there that isn't paywalled, and much of that will have a bunch of ads.
