Do we really have to link to paywalled sites?
It's a bot that just harvests posts from reddit and reposts them here after the reddit post has reached a pre-set popularity threshold.
Ideally, the bot would automatically generate an archive link to the content so that there's no paywall to read the article.
Here's an archive link to the current article in this post:

In my experience this site works on 10% of the paywalls I encountered. It's better than nothing still but not really a solution.
