I find the best place for the archive.is link is at the very bottom of the comments. Easier to find that way.

Thanks for the link. For the downvoters, note that HN allows posts to paywalled articles only if they have a workaround, and users usually post workarounds in the comment thread.

What you did is fine and recommended by dang. Downvotes may be from people not knowing about HN's convention on this, but you're in the right.

Thanks for the link! Much appreciated.

thanks for the link da39a3ee, it's appreciated.

> But please don't post complaints about paywalls.

Words immediately before that:

> it's ok [...] to help other users do so.

In which category does an archive.is link fall more, complaint or help?
