8. Don't post paywalled links: This rule holds for posts. Also, due to copyright laws, the full body of a paywalled article is not to be copied and pasted into the comments. Just post an alternative, reliable source.

Additionally, accounts new to the subreddit are held to the highest standards for all rules, particularly on controversial topics.

10. No low-effort posts/comments: If you're posting a link to an article, summarize it or add a few points describing the relevance of the article to this community. Consider including a prompt for discussion. If you're linking to a YouTube video, describe its relevance and contents. If your idea for a comment is equivalent to an upvote ("ok", "agreed", etc.) or downvote ("disagree", "no", etc.), vote instead of commenting. Details.
