I'd have no problem paying for it if it was a significant part of my life. I generally just skim the majority of the non-technical articles on HN, not paying attention to who the provider is. Apparently I've clicked and skimmed ten of these NYTimes articles in the last 17 days, which doesn't seem too unlikely given that they show up on HN fairly often.

If you're going to go all high-and-mighty about this, maybe we should be putting a [paywall] link on the HN frontpage so I can avoid clicking these articles altogether.

The NYT paywall actually excludes traffic coming from social sources like Facebook and Twitter. They don't do so for Hacker News, though (and I'm not sure about Reddit). So the general principle supports your use-case, it just isn't fine-tuned for the specific sites you use.

This would be ideal. I hate running into pay walls as well.
