    Sure, will do. I generally don’t like dodging around paywalls but The Atlantic for whatever weird reason puts full text of their stories into their RSS feed, so my habit was just to duplicate the story from the RSS feed.

      It’s a matter of resources. One copyright-infringement suit, and Beehaw has a significant, likely site-ending problem.

      As a journalist, I’m always torn between the right of people to read things they can’t necessarily afford and the knowledge that this is a low-paying field that relies on subscriptions. Squaring those two positions is difficult, but using archive links is the best way to solve access without showing up on a web search with the full text.
