Could we change the link to the source?
It has a good explanation, videos and FAQ.

When I click on a Techrunch link, it tries to redirect me to some tracking url on advertising.com. That would probably collect data about me, set cookies and send me back to Techcrunch. Since I do not allow that, I cannot read Techcrunch articles at all.
Lets see what others think. I made an Ask HN from this:
What matters in actual journalism, and what we should encourage, elevate, and credit, is the BEST reporting. That is, the most accurate, most readable, most informative, most honest.
Factors like misleading clickbait, content-free speculation, inflammatory commentary, and poor fact-checking need to disqualify outlets from consideration when determining which news source to promote on a given story.
I don't mean necessarily junking a publisher categorically for past sins, but rather looking at each story individually and determining whether someone else is reporting it BETTER.
Fools rush in.
Linking to a paywalled source for an audience that you can't guarantee are all subscribers is like telling everyone to just trust you that a story exists.
I believe it would be tremendously helpful when discussion threads float up comments that help people understand the problem better and what, if anything, they can do (including waiting for patches or taking other precautions).
