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.

Also, the "web" link under the story auto-googles the story title, which circumvents most paywalls.

In general, thanks. Not sure how I feel about the default HN policy is not to complain about HN policy.

I wasn't even aware that FAQ existed (not looked for it). It explains a number of other questions I've had about it's workings/policy.

If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a common semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

For future reference ;)
