[return to "Tell HN: Paywalls with workarounds are OK; paywall complaints are off topic"]

I would very much like to see a small tag indicating paywalled content. It is easy to tell that NYT, WSJ etc are paywalled, and some even allow free viewing, however scientific papers and academia seem to have a higher proportion of such sites. Since this community is pretty STEM centic, a lot of papers, journals, and smaller subscription sites are posted here. If users could simply "tag as paywalled" it would be a timesaver and a rather nice feature. Thanks.

HN generally eschews tags, and I fear having to maintain this (edit: I mean manually). But we'll think about it.

It could be an optional tag like [dead] or [flagged].

But those are automated. I've added "manually" above to clarify why I fear this.
