That's a violation of HN guidelines.

Is it really? TIL, thanks.

edit: Arguable. I assume your referring to:

Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.

...and I might argue that an archive of the original is just as good, judging by the verbiage referring to "If a post reports on...". Archive links don't change, remove, or add any context, they just make it accessible.

I suppose if we wanted to know this in specifics, it'd be a question for dang.

Posting paywalled links should be, as well. It's borderline marketing. If I pay for the source, I don't need to find it on HN.

not true. hn surfaces quality and adds discussion. and the people who wrote the content need acknowledgement/attribution, and some conversion to paying, or they'll eventually stop. do you think good reporting/writing just falls from the sky?

It comes from imputing the facts into GPT 3.5 and asking it to write an article.

Sorry, what is? It isn’t to post or ask for archival links. It’s only a contravention if someone complains about paywalls.

When I try posting archived links, they are auto-dead.
