I want to boycott websites that paywall themselves off like that. Hopefully with some more similarly minded people we can get the ball rolling - get Google to honestly enforce their no cloaking policy. Maybe even get HN to de-rank submissions from their domains.

Why? Because you don't want to pay for content?

Because a lot of paywalled content just merely creates the semblance of quality, which leads to less critical thinking amongst its readers. I think there should be exceptions, but paying for clickbait, in my opinion, is rewarding those who create it and incentivizes a lower quality of journalistic integrity.
