Gentlemen and Gentlewoman,

I think we need a serious discussion about paywall content.

Personally, I am very annoyed by paywall content and I would prefer to don't see it on HN.

I think that paywall content are a serious treat to the openness of the community.

So to verify, people should also not link to books, or to new releases of commercial software?

>>saurik+Z6
Please do link to good books and good software.

HN is a little like startup investing in that missing out on good posts is the worst that can happen. Bad posts suck too, but flagging and moderation work.

(To be clear, as it sounds like you might have missed this, I was being sarcastic to make a point that the argument that we should avoid "paywall" content is shortsighted and likely inconsistent even in the minds of the people complaining.)
