    Free access article from Ars Technica Agree with @trippysnail, paywalled anything should be hard banned, how can you discuss what you can't see?

      The source should always be linked when possible. I pay for multiple sites that have paywalls, and so do thousands or millions of other people, depending on the site. If you don't, there are generally a lot of options for circumventing the paywall (as I mentioned, adding "outline.com/" in front of the url is easy and tends to work), but we shouldn't link to blogspam instead of the actual source.

        I also pay for sites but the sites I pay for are not the same sites others here are paying for. I am not about to pay a monthly subscription to read one post here which makes paywall links useless when posted in a public forum. It only encourages people to comment/vote without reading the article. Of the 5 people who upvoted this post I doubt any of them actually read the post and just saw a catchy headline.

        This would be a great situation for being able to add multiple articles to the same topic

          That's a cool idea that would help against the different article same story duplicate posts that can happen.

        Perhaps the outline.com version should be the link then?

    This article is paywalled and a free account does not permit a user to view it. I don't like the idea of seeing paywalled articles.

      You can just add "outline.com/" in front of the url, it gets past almost all paywalls. This is WSJ's story and they should be linked to as the source.
