Especially when paywalls aren't really hard to bypass. Usually any thread involving a paywalled article will include an archive link.
For example: https://archive.is/qG0hS

According to the FAQs, articles that not everyone can read are banned from HN.
However, that doesn't include articles on NY Times, WSJ, Washington Post, Economist etc, because those sites' paywalls can be bypassed easily using something like https://archive.md.
I think it’s a bad idea - there’s no need to ban discussion of an article because not everyone can read it.
