What meaningful conversation can you have about an article you can read beyond the headline?
replyJust because you don't have access doesn't mean that people with access should be disallowed from discussing it. It just means you can't really discuss the article, but that's never stopped anyone from commenting before
replySadly, knowing most people, headline is rarely read past even when it isnt paywalled
reply> seems too limiting to me.
replyarticles restricting most users from reading them seems too limiting
ban all sites with paywalls/login walls including Twitter, NYT, FT, Business Insider, literally all of them
For anyone who doesnt know: changing the x.com or twitter.com in a twitter link to xcancel.com usually works to view tweets without an account.
reply(If I remember right, some video links dont always work with xcancel.)
WSJ and Bloomberg offer "gift links" that paid users can share. The latter is only good for 7 days IIRC, however.

replySeems pretty easy to have a bot automatically try to create an archive link and comment it.
replyThere are plenty of posts every day that don’t require you to get through a paywall - I personally just ignore them. I imagine there are only a handful of paywalled articles a week, and most of them end up having an archive link in the comments anyway
replyOk, anyone care to gather at a coffee shop so that we can discuss the print version?
replyYou guys haven't been going to the meetings?
replyNo, my horse broke down so I've been stuck at the farm.
replyYou have a /horse/?! Well laadeedaa
replyIt is funny how things that were completely ordinary 100 years ago are now considered luxury items. I suppose it's because we don't use them for the same purposes (previously transportation and as "work horses") and because feeding/housing/mucking is now a burden for city/suburban dwellers.
