Silicon Valley Cafeterias Whet Appetite of IRS

A WSJ article that is pay walled and has no comments is on the HN second page, approaching HN front page. Something is wrong with this.

What specifically is wrong? Are there too many paying WSJ supscribers on HN?

It really destroys the UX of HN. Support the WSJ if you would like and browse the articles on that site. Don't submit them to a site where one expects to be able to read the article that is linked to. In this case the valleywag blog spam summary of this article is more useful because I can actually read it.

Thanks. Doesn't appear to work anymore. Googling the URL still works but it's a pain.

WSJ allows a certain number of free reads per month.

It was the second day of the month. The first time I have been to WSJ this month.

Why is it a problem? The WSJ has high quality reporting. If the content is worth reading, then support the creators.

Perhaps it is not a quarrel with the WSJ policies, but with the upvoting of an item people may not care to read.

Actually, both but specifically the fact that it seemed to be approaching the front page in a state that most people could not have read it.
