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.
