> users who we all know are, in fact, entitled to get everything for free
That kind of thing is explicitly required under HN rules - if a company requires payment, it's only OK to post if a “workaround” to avoid paying is available.
Additionally, HN explicitly say it's OK:
* For HN comments to ask how to get around payment requirements, and
* For HN users to help other users to get around payment requirements

Why should HN be allowed to have rules on what content is allowed to be posted? People are of course free to not post.
