"too lazy or too stupid to take the trivial steps required to get around one"

Or maybe he just doesn't want to? You know, on principle? Even skirting the paywall, you're boosting the WSJ's viewership stats which in turn, helps them sell more advertising/contributes to their "value".



> you're boosting the WSJ's viewership stats

That would be the case whether or not they had a paywall.


Which is my point... maybe the parent commenter does not want to do this - instead of being either lazy or stupid as suggested.


No, because he specifically said he was opting out because of the paywall, not because it was the WSJ.
