I don’t believe a workaround had been posted at the time I posted. I also attempted to try outline, but got an error on their site for the URL (something along the lines of url not valid for outline).

Is hn open source? If so, I’d love to try and contribute something perhaps that would allow users to filter out stories with a user-managed url blacklist. Seems like a reasonably simple solution. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the info regardless; I’ll refrain from complaining about paywalls from here on out (although, to be fair, this wasn’t a blanket complaint about paywalls; I’d asked if there was some type of filter I didn’t know about and proposed a possible solution).
