To be fair, the sidebar itself suggests copying the content over if they’re paywalled. It’s nuts that you’ve highlighted that, and then complained about a rephrasing of what it says.
It’s nuts to me that you can’t see the nuance in the difference between “please don’t [post]” and “maybe copy [the article text] into the post”.
The “maybe” in there is doing a lot of work converting that into a suggested guideline rather than being a hard rule, and a polite request to follow the guideline is appropriate. But the nuance of “don’t post unless” is distinctly discouraging participation, and not appropriate.
