Either HN bans paywalled links, or it bans downvoting people asking for a back channel to the linked content. Seeing this same pattern every time is getting really boring.
I get it. I agree. Content isn’t free. But I can’t sign up for everything, and this site is meant to be an aggregator. There’s no point aggregating content that we can’t see.
If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread. This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here:
