Most readers here can either afford a subscription, or know how to read a story-of-interest without sending paywall-triggering cookies.

Some great reporting entities, using information beyond that which we have as readers, have decided such leaky paywalls are better than the alternatives. Against that domain expertise, we don't need HN to adopt some uniform, ideological "boycott all paywalls" policy. If it's so easy to get the same good stories from elsewhere, find them and submit them.
