Washington post gives you a long trial period if you are an Amazon prime customer. The subscription is cheaper if you are a student. Support good journalists, they are people too. Either give them ad revenue or get a subscription. If you don't work for free, don't expect others to.

Just to be clear: I will not subscribe to every single newspaper just because an article got linked on hn.

And no i will not trial every newspaper for an article linked on hn.

This screed isn't good journalism, though. For the best that people get blocked by the paywall.

Then don't read and don't complain about their business model. Simple.
