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?
I prefer not to link to those, but I still think it’s important to link to the original source. Sometimes they’re the first to post about it and there’s not much way around it (until someone posts a link to an archive version that bypass the paywall, or someone provides an NYT gifted link, etc). So it’s either that or we lose the potential for discussion.
There’s a community for gifted link articles to NYT right there: [email protected]
