Totally agree on the content stealing, but the fact that an article most people can't read got so far up the front page is also worrying.

Probably because the paywall doesn't show for everyone or it's somewhat random, perhaps even based on hits?

If that's the case then seriously, that crap needs to stop. Paste at will.

Shouldnt the conclusion then be that apparently enough people can read it to make it worth a HN frontpage listing?

[muteh]

It looks like you got downvoted a bit for saying this, sorry. You're totally right. If enough people /can/ see it that it can get to the front page then fair enough. I was feeling a little more cynical earlier, assuming that the voters hadn't read it.

You can actually read ten articles a month on the site with a free registration.
