Ask HN: The WSJ paywall workaround no longer works. Why are their links allowed?
https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
The official guidelines only permit paywalls with a viable workaround and the WSJ workarounds have all stopped working for many people, myself included. I'm getting pretty tired of clicking links and getting a headline + 12 words.
Before someone asks, I don't think the WSJ has earned a subscription from me. But that's beside the point - isn't it now in violation of HN's rules?
