No. I don't only want to read ad-driven content. Time to learn how to bypass paywalls in 2020.

You can bypass a paywall by paying.

That’s how I interpreted the post.

To be fair, doesn't bypassing paywalls kind of the defeat the purpose for these sites to be able to provide content without ads? Thus, ad driven content is the only way for them to keep the lights on.

The WashPo paywall is the worst -- it rewrites your address bar so you can't even bookmark the URL for later or copy/paste it to share. Really frustrating on mobile when you can be in an app that's not logged into WashPo. Why would the product team make that decision?

Frequently bypassing is just searching for the title to pick it up at another news site that it's syndicated to.

Paywall content is explicitly ok on Hacker News. From the FAQ [0]:

> Are paywalls ok?

> It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

> In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic. More here. [1]

That’s fine. The discussions here are most of the time more interesting than the articles anyway.

And there are ways around most paywalls if one article is particularly interesting.

No, we already got /. for that.

Not really comparable. Slashdot’s fine for flame wars but much less interesting than HN. Narrower in scope as well.

It would've taken about the same amount of time to find and link a non-paywalled article, and been much more useful. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/12/31/wiscon...

Dunno. My "bypass paywalls clean" Browser-add on does wonders.

While I agree, there would be very little left otherwise.

Baloney! There is enough non-gated content on the internet to keep any one of us busy until the day we die.
