This has been somewhat increasingly problematic over the past month or so as well-known existing workarounds seem to be increasingly problematic or failing.

Around 15% or more of HN front-page submissions are to paywalled and/or general news sites.

(I've classified the latter in my analysis of historic HN front-page activity, I haven't gone through to specifically note paywalled sites.)

And tightening paywalls can have a large impact on submissions. After the New York Times strengthened its paywall in 2019, HN front-page submissions fell to about 25% of their previous level.
