Periodically, someone posts a link that's to a site that's paywalled, and it seems that literally every comment is a complaint about that (see #922867 for a recent example).
They're not exactly wrong, but they're also not exactly right.
Look, I post a lot of links. Probably 75% of my posts are links. I do try to take into account whether my posts are paywalled or not, and to use either bypass links or gift links if I got them from someone. I certainly want to create as few barriers as possible to someone reading a link.
But it's also so fucking easy to bypass paywalls. You can use incognito/private browsing on some sites. You can use https://12ft.io/ or https://archive.is/ and paste the link. You can use a browser/extension combo. The first few options take maybe five seconds to do, less time and fewer sats than it takes to write a comment complaining about the paywall.
(The latter just requires running good tools to begin with.)
If you're not going to engage with a link, just don't engage with it.
