I want to be clear that this is not a reaction to any specific post, just something that I’m thinking about as I’m browsing around.
What do people think about linking to paywalled content? I find it frustrating, personally–but only if I’m not currently paying for the material, because if I am then I’m logged in and likely won’t notice.
Maybe it would be nice to have a guideline, a suggestion, for people posting links to such content as top-level posts to provide a summary (like on this post) for those who don’t have access?
Also, I apologize if this is something that’s been discussed already and decided upon; I’m quite new to Beehaw / Lemmy, and this is on my mind so I figured I’d ask :)
I think it’s good etiquette. I also think that as you said:
I never share a paywalled article on purpose, but since I don’t notice if it’s paywalled for my premium subscriptions, I often get it wrong. I’d really rather see a Lemmy-side automated flag rather than users having to check themselves every time they share (and often failing, because they’re humans).
