Hacker News Reader

Edit: The parent comment was orignally asking about linking to non-paywalled secondary sources.

In the HN guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

>Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.

Also, on paywalls https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989

So knowledge should be trapped behind a paywall?

We've been through this countless times, which is why it's in the FAQ. Paywalls suck, but HN would suck worse to do without NYT, WSJ, Economist, and New Yorker articles, to name a few. It's the lesser of two evils and it's off-topic to endlessly litigate this.
