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?
1·20 hours ago- As far as I know there aren’t great moderator tools to automate anything like a pay wall ban, so most mods won’t bother inspecting every post.
- Lots of people like to bypass pay walls, because fuck em.
- Most people aren’t reading the articles anyway.
