They should think hard about their next move because all that these paywalls have done is make it so I don't read their articles, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Maybe I'm the only one? I'm definitely not signing up to read them either.

I wish they’d just ban incognito-blocked articles from HN (or at least flag them, so I don’t waste my time).

Modifying browsers is preferable to that. It will (hopefully) solve the the problem at the source, and make a HN-level solution redundant.

I imagine other news aggregators face the same problem.

Keeping up with day-to-day or even week-to-week news is very, very nearly worthless to almost everyone. It's just entertainment, barely—if at all—more laudable or improving than watching soap operas or reading airport novels.
