Ask HN: Should articles visible only after paying be flagged and removed?

It is really annoying to find a big fraction of HN posts readable only if I pay, this is really discomforting.

    The short version of that policy is: no, they’re allowed.

    I understand that mass-media "outlets" are happy and get a lot of money making free advertising of their product here, but isn't this reducing the quality of this medium?

    In my opinion yes, they should be.
