Please do not bother linking to WSJ articles which are behind their paywall. It is a wasted click.
Right on, upstater. It is often possible to work around the paywall through Google or GoogleNews, which I did for the shadow banking link. But better to tell people who don’t want to be be part of the open internet, “Suit yourself, you aren’t part of the open internet.”
@upstater I hear you on the WSJ paywall, but they do publish a lot of the best articles each day, and a number of our readers do have access to all their articles. I’ll raise your concerns today and see if we can’t find some kind of solution.
The way to circumvent paywalls is to use Google Cache. If you put the headline into a google search you can often find a cached version of the article. You must put up with the highlights, but you’re not paying $N for occasional infrequent access.
Rizzo, a suggestion: Just put “(paywall)” next to a link if it’s like the WSJ situation. You choose your counterparties, we choose whether to click
