So, yeah, if you regularly read more than the free allocation for each of those publications in a month, you should consider paying for them. Which ones you "need" is your call.
They made their own bed, they can lie in it. I actively work around paywalls, and have ZERO guilt about it. Your business model failed, and I give zero shits. I want to know what's happening, and am willing to pay $10/month to to fix that across ALL of you that were affected. If you can't solve it entirely, I don't care. Take my $10/month, split it, and shut up or quit bitching.
Attention @dang and other HN admin people, this is a constant annoyance. It's time to deal with it. I totally get your position, and your limitations, but it happens EVERY DAY. It is NOT going away, and it's getting worse. It is very clearly making HN less useful.
Is there someone more infutiential than me that could post an "Ask HN" thread that people might rally around? Feeling enflamed, but not particularly influential. Alternatively, is there a way for me to msg @dang personally? (mentioned specifically because I personally applaud and respect his past history and responses)
I sent this to the email address you suggested:
"Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799
I wish to keep my relative anonmity as "tyingq" on HN, but feel pretty passionate about this submission:

I respect @dangs historical appreciation for real complaints, and would REALLY appreciate his reply and advice in the thread.
...with my full appreciation of your opinion and limitations... really.
I fully think the WHOLE community wants to know."
Paywalls are honestly hurting HN, every day...really.
