Downvoting someone for contributing to the conversation, without providing any better source. Great

That's sort of what the downvote button is for, removing things that don't contribute to the conversation. A source that you can't look at without capitulating to their dark patterns is more or less what that button is for.

Also explaining why you're downvoting is a good idea.

Or you could have just found the site yourself and linked to it here like everyone else does.

OP: Paywall Link You: Here’s the non-paywall link.

Not that hard. And if you think about it, OP typed the answer “Ruby on Rails”. Would you have downvoted if he didn’t provide a source?
