Probably not, but that was one of my biggest annoyances at The Other Place: someone would post an article and another person would come in to read it. But if it was paywalled, the second person, instead of either deciding the article wasn’t interesting enough and walking away; or doing one of a dozen things to get past the paywall and read the article; or actually contributing to the community by posting a non-paywalled link / the text of the article - instead of doing any of those either non-disruptive or actually-contributing things, the person just stands there and bitches, “Paywall! Paywall!”
We’re not your mother and we’re not necessarily going to hand things to you. You’re presumably an adult and can learn how to cope with paywalls. Or it you can’t, then at least have the decency to just walk away without commenting paywall! paywall! like a helpless baby bird.
And Google will be more than happy to teach you over a dozen ways to get around paywalls.
Correct, but not cool.
