Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

That's what the "web" link under the title does for you, just for that reason.
That link should probably say "google", not "web".
