@volpeon My editorial-standards rule about login-gated links is that I include them in a post, if at all, only when I'm trying to provide the most detailed and accurate provenance for a thing, and then only if:
1) I'm pretty confident the gated social media link is indeed the true-and-original source; and
2) In the spirit of piracy-is-curation, only if I have *reproduced* the item for posterity before linking to its invisible-to-the-archive-sites gated point of origin.
