I wish these types of sites were not allowed on Hacker News. I'm not paying for every little news site I read on here (or the big ones). I usually click on the link, realize it's got this crap on it, and bail back out. I don't want to read it and would rather it didn't even show up.

For a while I had updated my CSS setup so that these sites would have a strike through on them and I'd go strait to the comments instead of trying to read the story.

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread. This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 and https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

The Information doesn't have a workaround, but they do unlock many articles for HN readers. I asked them to unlock this one and they did, so everyone who clicks on it from HN can read it now.
