Hacker News Reader

I don’t have a LinkedIn account (and my email address is in their blacklist) yet I was able to read it OK?

I don't know. It redirects me to https://www.linkedin.com/authwall?trk=bf&trkInfo=AQH_V0VMQls...

I was gonna ask the same, Linkedin's authwall seems more difficult to circumvent than the news paywalls I encounter. It would be unfortunate to have to create a dummy account. If I do, I'll send them a copy of this letter ;-)

Linkedin allows you to watch "some" content, but will show a loginwall later on. It's not cookie based afaik, I couldn't catch a sensible logic there.

I'm on a job hunt cycle so I had to log in and use it in the past month many times and to me it's just as offensive and aggressive as facebook nowdays. I avoid it like the plague if possible.
