Load WSJ articles with archive.is to circumvent the paywall: http://archive.is/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-overprote...
OK, so what's the workaround to read this behind a paywall?
Most sites want traffic from social media, and you can thus visit them with referer headers from Facebook, e.g. via https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https://www.wsj.com/article...
I don’t think that works with wsj anymore since the whole Google Amp thing. Just tried your suggestion and was met with paywall after first couple paragraphs.

Doesn't work for me on Firefox.
Click the "web" link just below the article's title. Most sites with a paywall let you read an article if you arrived at it via a google search page.
It doesn’t work, and please take the ten seconds it takes to check that your advice is relevant before you give it.
Is there a place to give feedback to ycombinator or voice your opinion? I'm very well could be in the minority here but I would rather paywalled articles were discouraged.
Yes there is: email us at [email protected]. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
The paywall question has long been decided though, and there are lots of previous posts that explain why: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
