It's not hurting the news industry... maybe. It's polluting the HN newsfeed... maybe.

I for one won't subscribe to paywalled sites i only occasionally get links to on HN or other news aggregators just because they're linked here.

Funny enough, I am subscribed to a site that gets linked on here semi regularly. Not paywalled, ads or pay for no ads/tracking. But I've been reading it longer than I've read HN.
