even if you do click on web and hit the first result, you still get a paywall.. maybe it's a US-only thing?

Works for me (and I'm in Europe)

I get a paywall through the web link (from UK).

However right-clicking the main link and opening in private browsing seems to work.

This gets asked and answered so often than perhaps HN should add an instruction to the "web" link that tells you to open it in a new private/incognito window.
