I use the aptly-named "innocuous Chrome extension"
- melling 9y agoI've paid for the digital subscription for 15 years. What's the aversion to more people paying? Perhaps the price would go down.
- 8ytecoder 9y agoI took advantage of the Post and NYT's price reduction. Paying something like $10-$15 a month is pretty much a no-brainer. But at $30, I don't know if I'd read it enough to justify the cost.
- rvdavis 9y agoI am on my third month as a paying subscriber, and it is worth it to me. I am lower-middle class, so my budget is pretty tight. I wouldn't mind a discount!
- jbob2000 9y agoBecause if it's important, I'll hear about it somewhere else. And if it's interesting, I can find other articles. Content is a dime a dozen these days, why would I pay for it?
- sopooneo 9y agoWhen I pay, it is out of a sense of civic duty. Democracy requires journalism and journalism requires money.
- ProAm 9y agoBecause good content is not a dime a dozen and most content is regurgitated content from real sites/journalists that do the work.
- baumandm 9y agoClassic tragedy of the commons.
- tnzn 9y agoA failed concept (though in that specific case it might be on point)
- dogecoinbase 9y agoBecause if you're not paying for it, someone else is paying for it to be shown to you.
- vertis 9y agoYou can pay for for it and still be served what someone else is paying for you to see.
- booleandilemma 9y agoI pay for the WSJ. They write quality articles and I like to know that I'm helping their staff put food on the table.
- nafizh 9y agoBecause I don't want to pay for any kind of media that is owned by News Corp.
- dageshi 9y agoYou presumably don't want to read it either then?
- Nullabillity 9y agoPresumably Murdoch, for one.
- whatisani 9y ago> Perhaps the price would go down highly unlikely unless there is competition and if there is competition, you'd now have to pay two outlets to sustain the competition. There might be more valid factors to bring the price down, but this is the first I could think of.
