[Mod Post] Proposal banning pay walls and capped visit sites. Looking for input.

Reddit was created as a way to foster discussion; /r/technology is no exception to that. In that spirit, we are going considering a ban on submissions of websites that have a paywall (hard or soft) or have a capped number of visits. Yes, we know that there are work-arounds, but that also works around the purpose of this move. We, the mods of /r/technology, hope that we can encourage websites to allow access to their content for others to enjoy without cost to visitors.

Would you support the idea of blocking these sites?
