Ask HN: Should we have a $ symbol for premium content

It feels to me that the amount of shared articles which are behind a paywall are rising.

I wonder if HN’s usability would improve if these article would be marked with ($) or so.

I often click there for a cheap read on my commute and find it annoying when seeing a paywall rather than the article.

Can the forum software reliably detect that?

I find that „feature“ unimportant, but if it‘s something the submitter must do, I‘m strongly against it. I would ignore such a rule, unless there‘s near-unanimous consensus.

Thanks for sharing this!

I'd like to filter out certain domains, for instance there is no point in me visiting latimes.com because they block the EU.
