If the workarounds are so commonly accepted, can you start automagically editing the links to be the google/url redirect bypass then?

Or add a [bypass paywall] link, like there used to be a [scribd] link? ;).
It's tempting. But https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10179116.
Even just a [paywall] like you do [pdf] to warn people not to bother clicking it would help greatly.

Yup. I thought about exactly the same reasons you described there; that's why I put a ";)".
But while we're at it, how about a [cache] link? More often than not we end up overloading the submitted site and there's always a comment with Google Cache link.
