The web link apparently fails for a lot of these now.<p>I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s unreasonable to be annoyed by links that require a subscription or payment to view.<p>I think a good compromise would be some sort of [Pay] tag on the link.<p>Edit - it&#x27;s also hard to have an honest discussion about an article if you don&#x27;t have a subscription to that site. That requires a bunch of extra work (getting the subscription) just to fairly participate in the discussion here.<p>Maybe that&#x27;s fine, up to the HN community to decide.
