I do believe the opposite, although I feel that rabinovich is somehow tied to other personas. This thing is blurry, shady and I hope it will draw some more OSINT eyes on it. I am now curious.

OP here. As the blog publicly states, this account is Gyrovague, and so is HN "gyrovague". I have nothing to do with "rabinovich" but I also have no way of proving a negative.

Most paywalls just allow search engines to read their content just fine. Because they do want discoverability, they want their cake and eat it. There's a few publications that don't even do that though and archive.is is very good at bypassing them so I do imagine they use logins for those, but for the masses of sites it's not currently necessary.

What serious operator of a service isn't budgeting time to implement and operate critical maintenance functions?
Me for one. Adding an auto-updating IP address blocker to my personal blog site would probably cost more than setting up the whole site did in the first place.

This is misrepresentative of the situation, and an unloaded version of the question being asked here is answered within the article itself.
How is it misrepresentative of the situation?
