Seems like he's doing it so people start putting more content on the site. Smart move, I think. I know many people here prefer the same thing on Stacker News. I would much rather read an Article by DarthCoin on here, for instance, than be taken to some other random website where I am prompted to open an account, turn off my VPN, click a bunch of shit to get to the article, etc... Although, I still love a good link. I guess we'll see if the move pays off.
