It's really disillusioning to see the top comment in a front-page HN-thread require payment to even be read completely.

I can see that this isn't your personal design decision, but there is a literal paywall preventing you from communicating with me. This is absurd.

Sorry about that! I didn't think to put in gift links, and of course I should have. Here are (what should be) unpaywalled versions:

- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/09/08/opinion/urban...

- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/07/20/opinion/ancie...

On the first link scrolling is extremely slow on Firefox -- but curiously the problem doesn't appear on the other two.

(Also -- completely OT, sorry -- but science doesn't have a "photoshopping" problem as much as a fraud problem, as the author herself makes clear in the body of the text:

> With a sense of unease about how much bad science might be in journals, I quit my full-time job in 2019 so that I could devote myself to finding and reporting more cases of scientific fraud.)

Do you know what the rationale is for such long unlock codes in the URL?

FWIW, this extension has worked great for me, but it seems that the developer's support is dwindling for it: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/
