If the link as posted in the story does not work for people, it does not work.  That&#x27;s your fault.<p>&quot;Workarounds&quot; which are already incorporated into the link by the time I see them are fine.  Workarounds that require me to download seven apps and swing a chicken over my head while ROT13&#x27;ing the URL are... not.<p>It is the site&#x27;s job (HN&#x27;s job) to provide usable links to its readers.  That is literally your only job, the only thing you are here for.  If it fails, it fails, and it should be criticized for that.
