Ask HN: Please ban links to e-commerce checkout pages and paywalled articles
HN does not feature advertisements on the home page, and it should not feature paywalled links, as they are essentially just ads for content that is blocked unless the user pays.<p>Similarly, HN should not allow links that automatically add an item to a user&#x27;s e-commerce cart and then direct the user to the checkout page.<p>If not an outright ban, both of these types of links should be flagged to prevent inadvertent clicking.
