Can we please have a rule against posting paywall links? I know we can find a cached version or search on Google or whatever, but it's still frustrating! We're not talking about work-arounds.
Imagine what our reaction will be if someone posts a link to their own blog which doesn't allow visitor to read the content without paying $1. Even if they have a work-around like you can inspect element and hide the paywall popup.
The WSJ's article isn't a summary of The Information's original story. They confirmed the report based on their own sources, which is completely legitimate even if they weren't the first ones to break the story.

The submitter can find another outlet and submit that. Submitting a paywall article is like submitting an item with no link at all, with text content "google it."
