I'd argue that HN cannot expect constructive and substantive discussion on an article people can't even read. HN is bringing (a lot) of traffic to these websites thus potential revenue. Allowing paywalled articles never made sense.

Agree. We need this dissent so that HN can change it’s posting rules: No posting paywalled content.

I agree on this one too. Plus as a result of the paywalls, HN is linking to pirated content, which is not good I guess.

It's like if you watch a trailer on YouTube and people post in the comments a link to the full stream.

Agreed. This topic is covered in other sites. Paywall links should be banned from the main link of a post.
