I started to notice some people posting NYT, Bloomberg or other websites with hard paywalls, that leads to people in the comments that are unable to read the article to discuess the headline without any analysis and some times spreading misinformation, which cannot be countered by the article, due to the paywall.
Which bring me to this: Why does no one thought about blocking hard paywalled articles for the sake of quality of discussion?
Each community has it’s own rules.
Many of us have access to pay walled media, so why block it for everyone?
Because for 99% of the users it’s useless inaccessible spam.
Reverse the question, many of us don’t have access to pay walled media, so why post it?
Not posting pay walled content Ignore it for everyone, even people having access to it
Posting it people without access can still follow the discussion, and some are quite important news
As it’s been pointed out several times in this thread, there are ways around that.
