The difference being that these are actually super helpful links. I'd be happy with an outline link being a permanent fixture. Get all the text and images, without all the garbage.

Agreed it looks scammy, but it is a legitimate link. The user should give some context instead of just pasting a link.

I think it’s providing the text for paywalled submissions.

I see what you mean but I'm just a reader. No affiliation to outline.com or anything else. My understanding is it's ok to post paywall workaround links and I wish more people would do it.

I think what you do is super helpful and I appreciate it. Maybe adding context or just saying it's a paywall workaround would prevent people from getting the wrong idea.
