Why? Isn't HN fundamentally about startups that want to make money? What if everyone refused to buy YCombinator services and products? What if everyone refused to buy your company's output?

You could do what I do when there's a paywalled article that I don't have subscription access to: click away. Read something else.

BTW, I subscribe to the NYT online precisely because I saw so many NYT articles here on HN. But I don't subscribe to FT or the Economist. I can't read everything, but I have enough to read.
