I know and in a general sense I agree with their decision to do it - it makes sense. I just don't think it's appropriate for HN. If you do pay to bypass a news wall, chances are you will only pay for one. If there's three hypothetical equal competitors, that'll limit the audience by a third.

Or just click the "web" link and read the article?

All I get is "To Read the Full Story, Subscribe or Sign In". That's it. No other options. Maybe I could get around it, but it's a lot more hassle for the average reader than it's worth.

there's a "web" link at the top of this page, it google searches the title, which will get you what you want.

To be fair, it's completely unobvious. (I'd have never have found it if someone hadn't pointed it out to me a while back.)

Look in the menu of links just under the title, between 'past' and 'comments'.

[bArray]

Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed that. I would have thought it was another more formal way of accessing the link or something.

Thanks for also pointing it out for me.

Only in some countries. For example, for me, I have to use a second workaround to actually get the article content.

That doesn't work for me, or for a lot of other people as well.
