I just want to remove stories that link to sites like bloomberg, New York Times, Wired, etc. because they are paywalled/account-walled articles.

There's probably not such a feature now. But if HN could provide such a function, I would wholeheartedly support it.

Please let such a filter exclude videos and Twitter/X.

Most soon receive a comment having a bypassing link e.g. to archive.ph.

I thought people here bypassed the paywall to read.

Wouldn't it be a more useful customization to have paywalled sites automatically redirected for being opened via https://archive.{is,ph}, instead?
