7 Months Inside an Online Scam Labor Camp

You realize that when you discourage people from subscribing, you're hurting one of the few forces for good in this story. The world needs a free and independent press-- one that's paid for by its readership. This kind of mindless piracy undermines it. In many places, the press is gone, bankrupt in part because of cheap, thoughtless piracy like this.

Grow up. Support a free and independent press now! Buy a subscription to one one like.

Then use your free subscriber share link to this article for us. This HN; they'd even pirate Factorio.

Love the sentiment about a free and independent press!

I really hope you aren't referencing the New York Times with your post.

Donate to citizen journalism instead.

Honestly, I don’t consider this mindless piracy. It’s ridiculous how many links on HN are behind a paywall. I understand the press needs to be funded, but I do not regularly read NYTimes or the many other news sources locked behind a paywall. I click on interesting articles on HN typically. It would be burdensome to subscribe to each and every news site posted here.
