HN either shouldn't allow any sort of paywall bypass (other than gifted sharable links) or should ban submissions from sites that have a paywall, IMO.

I don't think YC could say with a straight face that they'd be OK w/ one of their portfolio company's content being taken from behind a paywall and shared elsewhere to a very large audience. Actually I do think they could (and would) say that, but I wouldn't believe them.
