Why are other news sources which also have paywalls not banned? (nytimes, wsj, bloomberg, financial times, etc)

Dang's guidance: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989>

If you find that a previously-available workaround is no longer effective, do feel free to notify mods.
And as tptacek notes, if a workaround does work (and reliably, some are only very occasionally effective), you can also alert mods.
Mods can and should be reached by email at <hn@ycombinator.com>.
Paywalls are fine on HN as long as there's a reliable linkable bypass.
One of the standard link bypasses seems to work here[0] though. Is that not a reliable workaround here?

If we're flagkilling stories with workable paywall bypasses, you should ping hn@ycombinator.com (don't assume they see the thread), and I'd expect them to unkill it.
