Add subscription to view top links in Hackernews?
I'm running out of free views on news platforms that come up on Hackernews. Can we come up with a subscription or method to keep anything in the top 30 free to view?
This means that news sites who want their content and stories indexed have to let (Referer'd) clicks from Google through, regardless of how many times that person read other stories on the given site, etc.
Thus, Google the URL you want (consider removing unique-looking data from the link to improve your chances); if it comes up in the search results... woohoo :D
Alternatively, clear your cookies/localStorage for the site. There are several irritatingly persistent "perma-cookie" conceptual implementations out there that are very good, but the major news platforms are far too bureaucratic to use those; they just look at your browser's standard cookies (and maybe localStorage).
The fastest way to clear this in Chrome is to click the document/lock icon in the omnibox, then the "Show ... site data" link; select the entry(s) in the list and click "Remove" (repeat as necessary) - or to be especially evil, "Block" >:D
