The entitled attitude and acting like there’s something unethical about article paywalls makes me roll my eyes. Find a way to bypass it or a copy on one of the archive sites, and post that. Or post nothing. Responding with just “ugh paywall, how dare you/they” sucks.

    You’re not really making a point. Of course, you may not be trying to.

      I think it was pretty clear and you’re choosing to feign ignorance because the conclusion goes against your argument.

        You can read paywalled articles. You aren’t considering that possibilty because you think you’re entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can’t participate? It isn’t. If that’s not your point, what is it?

        We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.
