I think sites like this should be banned on HN just like malware and spam. If you want to link to them you’d need to find an alternative, non-nasty source.
Could you explain why? Is it because people will only share information worth sharing if they have to pay to do so? If so, then you deserve a [redacted].
He didn’t say ban all sites with ads, he said to ban those that deny access to ad blockers.
I think that’s a fair thing. Paywalls & denying ad blockers (which is thankfully a minority of sites for now) isn’t the entire internet and there’s plenty of other content.
Actively rejecting scum would hopefully deter other sites from doing the same.
