Couldn't get past paywall, but it could be that Tim Cook is better at operations then whomever replaced him.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying when you click on an article that looks interesting and it's locked up behind a paywall

People here basically end up discussing the gist of the title rather than the article when this happens.

You could subscribe to avoid the paywall. That's one option.

I'm not going to subscribe so I can read one article every month or two. If WSJ wants to ignore the long tail of potential readers that's their right, but we shouldn't be condoning it by posting links here on HN.

The mods have been clear on the HN policy regarding paywalls:

From a recent comment by 'dang:

> "The paywalls suck, of course, but banning NYT, WSJ, Economist, New Yorker, and all other such publications would suck worse. I realize not everyone agrees with this, but it seems the right call to me, which doesn't mean I like it any more than you do."

WSJ has changed their paywall policy over time, so I don't expect any policy written in the past to be optimal for the current reality - which is no access without a subscription, period. I know NYT allows a limited number of articles per month, and I'm fine with that. Don't know about the other two but I don't remember having any trouble accessing them.

If you already have a subscription to WSJ I expect that you'd be a heavy enough user that you don't need a HN link to inform you of content to check out.

> "so I don't expect any policy written in the past"

The comment I quoted is from 20 days ago, and the mods tweak policies with some regularity. 'dang commented specifically on the WSJ just over two weeks ago here:

> "WSJ is an edge case, but paywalls with workarounds are ok "

They're well aware of the situation. Yeah, paywalls are frustrating, and the mods are handling it as they deem best for HN. That's not to say it won't change in the future, of course.

If you subscribed, wouldn’t you start reading more articles? I think that’s what makes this kind of paywall strategy successful.
