I disagree. HN should not do this.

I think the downvoting you're receiving is unjustified. Content creators have a right to monetize in a manner they choose, even if it is shortsighted or easily bypassed. I would think the entrepreneurial crowd on HN would agree with that in principal.

Then perhaps they shouldn't provide an option to view it as one page...?

They provide an option to print which consequently puts the content on one page. Which you, me and everyone else is aware of.

Let's be real here: It's not even in your interest as someone that doesn't care for this to become the norm for aggregators like HN because content creators will start doing annoying stuff like referrer checks or other cat and mouse bullshit.
