Click the [-] on the thread to collapse it, thank your overlords, and move on. Works every time.

Alternatively, pay for a damn subscription and stop moaning that the free lunch is over.

Its the newspapers who will realize that the free lunc his over when nobody needs their crap anymore.

Put up paywalls and dont even make it remotely easy to actually pay. Then bitch about you not having an account, still want you to click on a thousand facebook and twitter links and have ads that slow the site down to a standstill and what not.

Newspapers are really not having it easy huh. Throughout the web, you either run a subscription or monetize with ads. Newspapers do both and cant even hire an engineer who doesnt shit out a javascript turd that will never load.

I'm just amazed that you can expect the 5,000 people at the Wall Street Journal to work for you for free, and then accuse them of pursuing a "free lunc".

I bet you wouldn't see WSJ articles on HN if this was the case.

Yet they keep showing up, paywall or no.
