You can read paywalled articles. You aren't considering that possibilty because you think you're entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can't participate? It isn't. If that's not your point, what is it?
We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.

Not every post is for everyone. (And like Rachel said, not reading an article has not typically prevented people from entering a discussion and I don't think it ever will. That's often perfectly fine, someone can offer insight in response to what people are saying in the comments.) Imagine an interesting, long form article written by an independent writer whose livelihood depends on subscriptions. So not a news story with many alternatives, in other words. Why shouldn't someone link to it, and say "here's a great article, I recommend subscribing to this writer?"

The phrase "rogue state" to me always just sorta meant "uncooperative with the United States," which the United States can't be. I'm sure there's a more useful definition.
Phantasy Star IV on the Genesis retailed for $99 in the US in 1995. That's like a game being $200 now. I think Star Fox 64 was $80, but it came with a rumble pak at least.
