It's against the rules, by the way. They clearly state OP must provide a workaround to the paywall. Of course, outline.com doesn't support wsj, big surprise.

It's obviously not against the rules, as you can see from the search bar of 'dang comments on WSJ stories. If you can find a better story, it can get swapped in for this one; suggest it. Otherwise: complaining about paywalls actually is against the rules.

I'm not obliged to provide a better story. I have the right to request a workaround. It seems OP must not have posted a paywalled article without workarounds in the first place.

The rule is that paywalled stories are OK as long as a workaround exists, not that the submitter is obliged to provide one. Meanwhile, complaints about paywalls are off-topic on HN. You don't have to take my word for it; just read Dan's comments.
