Anything without a paywall?

I don't get why this comment is being downvoted. This definitely contributes to the discussion. If the entire or a majority of the front page is paywalled articles than those of us who can't afford, don't want to support a specific publication, etc. can't meaningfully contribute to the discussion.

I think this is a BAD thing for the health of the comment section. An even worse outcome is people commenting based on the headline and maybe a blurb only. How is that supposed to promote a good community?

If you want paywalled articles being the bulk of the posts on hacker news that garner discussions then we might as well just go ahead and paywall this site.. because it's slowly becoming a paywalled tech discussion site.. just with more steps.

there are simple ways of circumventing paywalls for most of the commonly linked sites. NYT for example can be bypassed just by using reader mode in Firefox. for the others, this extension is a good start: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/blob/ma...

it is mildly annoying to see the same complaint over and over when the solution involves only a minimal amount of research.

This is a short term solution to a long term problem. The point is not workarounds or bypasses.
