Use a special phrase to mark paywalled articles on HN 4 by miki123211 | 0 comments on Hacker News. This is a suggestion. I believe we should use something like (paywall), (pw) or (pay) in article titles when they are paywalled. People do it for pdf. People do it for video. I believe it should be done for paywall too. This is an obvious way to inform readers that there's no point in clicking that link if they don't have a subscription.
