Hacker News Reader

With all the free stuff, it's sort of anathema to suggest that you should pay to just talk to people on the internet, but as everyday internet users keep getting confronted with their own Eternal September, I agree that paying will become more common.

I hope reddit starts charging people to post. The "joke accounts" are ruining the site. $5 would kill those in 20 seconds.

Then we would just have to delete the non-programming parts of reddit. :)

Science, Gadgets & Cogsci are not bad either.

i'm a member at the MeFi too, and agree that even that little fee helps keep the morons out (the odd misguided marketing twit notwithstanding).
