Yeah, I feel it's a grass roots effort here to drive people to paywall news sources we otherwise wouldn't consider. On any given day, there's one to two links to WSJ and NYT on the front page, even on stories that aren't exclusives.

The cool kids don't mind paying for journalism and all that, and the press deserves our support (etc, etc). Most of the content I enjoy here is written for free by hobbyists or company blogs.
