The usual approach is to just find the archive.is/today/ph link in the comments to read sans-paywall.

It is slightly annoying to click the link, get stuck behind the paywall, then have to return to HN, go into the comments thread, and find the archive.is if it exists, and then make it yourself if it doesn't. It'd be nice if the OP could submit a non-paywalled link alongside the original one. I assume HN feels like that would be crossing a legal or ethical line though.

If it makes you feel any better your click -> see paywall -> leave likely counts as a bounce. But I agree, archive links should be default. My strategy is to just immediately pass any major news outlet article through an archive service because they legitimately do not deserve my money or my eyes.

I’d be shocked it having it in a comment vs the article link makes a legal difference, and it seems like an odd ethical one.

FWIW, I've been making a point of submitting paywall/archive links along with my own submissions for a few years now. I'd encourage that practice as well.

more annoying than paying for journalism?

I always wonder: how does that work? Is it a subscriber legally sharing paywall content with their share privileges, which i have done, but not aware of archive.is, or is it like copyright violation?

[s1artibartfast]

My understanding is that it is blatent copyright violation. Archive today is based in Russia and I assume they simply ignore legal complaints.

It is weird that this site allows people to post those paywall-circumvention sites.
