    I understand your question but it doesn’t address my initial question: why are we posting paywalled links to public news? Everyone was reporting on this,(Edit: I may be wrong about that) I’m sure there is a free independent news source that has a similar article, so why are we putting up a paywall link to a NYT article? Wouldn’t it be more effective to post a link everyone could access?

    Edit: I am now going to look and see if there’s anyone else reporting this, if it is exclusive to NYT, great, but each day I see a interesting article only to get halfway through and get hit with a “money please!” paywall.

      That’s fair. I was definitely using your question to voice something I have been thinking about for a while, more than actually addressing it/you specifically. Sorry about that.
