It would be nice if all links to a paywall had a "(Paywall)" in the title, that way we'd get less complaining about paywalls, and less complaining about complaining about paywalls.

...and less solutions to complaining about complaining about paywalls!

It's odd that for how much complaining happens about ads on HN, there's pretty much always just as much scheming about paywalls.

Though I get why it's nicer to prefer non-paywalled sources if it exists...

There seems to be an interesting tension between Hacker News readers who complain about ads and those who complain about paywalls -- realistically the money to pay for journalism has to come from somewhere, right?

What firewall? I've been able to read them all fine.

There's a cookie-based article per month limit.

uBlock Origin seems to be able to get around it.

For Safari, I went ahead and added the rules missing from uBlock from uBlock Origin too. This seems to have helped somewhat (Forbes wall etc.)

Worked for me by clicking the web link at the top of the page (ie; accessing through a Google search) and opening it in a private tab

I feel the same about NYT links. Incognito isn't doing the job anymore for me on that site.

That'd conflict with the wish to link to the original source quite often, considering how much original reporting is done by the NYT. Maybe a story should have two links – one to the original and one to the buzzfeed rehash that is published 10 hours later?
