That it's incredible inconvenient? I don't want to do discussion there, but just read what other people tried and did.
The result is that I just make throwaway accounts for such websites to get to the content and I appreciate if I don't have to do that.

Sorry, you misunderstand me. I meant I'm not sure what Courtland's reasoning for walling off the interviews/articles is.

Oh, sry, I see.
I guess that it's just a Stripe marketing channel and the number of sign-ups supports some metric.

I personally liked the interviews and now it’s just a summary :(

The interviews haven't gone anywhere: https://www.indiehackers.com/interviews
What do you mean by summary?

I think the confusion is that the design of this page:
https://www.indiehackers.com/products
is closest to the old layout where each block linked to the founder interviews. I basically wrote the site off until today because it looked like the interviews had been walled off.
That's a fair point I hear quite a lot. Not sure what the reasoning is there (assuming it is the case).
>> It also seems the interviews are not that important anymore, but being some kind of community is - but I don't think that people want that, because we have that already here or at reddit - the nice thing were the interviews.
Have to really strongly disagree on this point... The IH community is - without a shred of doubt in my mind - the single most impactful thing Courtland has built at Indie Hackers. Happy to believe that you don't want that, but there are a lot of founders and lurkers on the IH forum who really do want it...
