"when someone posts a link to a paywalled article, posting 'paywall-didnt read' is rude, obnoxious and simply unnecessary"

I view it more as a statement that "I'm so glad you can afford subscriptions to pay web sites, but others are not so fortunate"

It's interesting how many, and how easily, some people simply assume that all others are as fortunate as they

Or maybe they just don't care

"that nobody says so in the comments worries me"

Yeah

Perhaps other people don't share your privilege

And while we're on the general topic of posting etiquette, posting a link into Youtube (or any web site, really) with no text whatsoever describing what content we're supposed to click through and watch is "rude, obnoxious, and simply necessary"
