But it's not necessarily good hacker news material. We get links that do not work, publishers get free promotion without providing anything. We will say something about viable models, and then somebody will post an archive.org link, bypassing the paywall and the viable model.

I flag links that do not work, not because I'm opposed to subscriptions (I subscribe to some online publications), but because I think Hacker News should only link to articles that are actually on the internet.

Journalism, sure. But most people are happy with entertainment news.

I'm a FT subscriber. I just know 99% of people aren't, and lots aren't even aware it exists or its reputation.

If you have to tell people that it's well known, it's not well known.
