alt Hacker NewsPaywall links shouldn't be allowed on Hacker News. It's not possible to subscribe to every service that could be theoretically be submitted. We're not all on $350k SV wages either.
That said it's hard to gauge this story as it's a one sided affair, author maybe 100% in the right but that can't really be determined.

tldr: paywalls are allowed as long as they can be circumvented easily, eg via archive.ph or similar services
