What is the point posting a pay-walled article? Please check the link you suggest, pay-walled content is not accessible by the majority of people online, how meaningful information sharing/discussion is possible if the content is not even freely available?

It is worse than the bloody Chinese GFW - a single VPN account allows you to bypass the entire GFW, yet you need to signup/subscribe to millions of different pay-walled sites to even read them.

Quality reporting does in fact cost something to produce. The goal of HN is to surface the best news of interest to the tech community. There is a reason why WSJ, NY Times, and Washington Post are simultaneously high quality and paid sources of news.
