Welp, at least my copy was on point.

Saw there was some interest around this piece on HN last week so I went ahead and unlocked it.

thanks.

This seems like a really tough ask of any editors. Much less, editors of one of the most highly scrutinized companies out there.

Curious to hear if anyone else has any outlandish VC experiences like the ones shared in our latest story.

No problem!

It seems like a smart win win situation for you. I bet if the WSJ ect. did the same it would drive non trivial growth

Thank you for flagging. This has been fixed. The page affected was a static file hosted outside our application only to be served when the app was inaccessible or offline. No user data was compromised at any point.

Honestly, it was more of a symptom of seeing our content posted on here organically and then the accompanying complaints about the paywall from the community.

There's obviously upside to having more eyeballs on our content.

Jay, this is awesome! I really appreciate this and it's super great to open this for the HN community. I love that approach to balancing paywall vs. critical mass / sharing. Thank you!

PS. I'm an Information sub and love how deep you go in the reporting - keep it up, it's very refreshing.

Love to hear it.

Seconded. Really appreciate this.

Great!

Thank you.
