They need to find a business model that isn't based around outright deception to survive. I have zero sympathy for them.

- Cthulhu_ 10y agoThe problem with newspapers is that if they paywall all of their articles, they won't get any viewers because nobody knows what kind of articles they write without subscribing. A lot of them have an 'X free articles per month' thing, but since I'm on three different machines, I've never hit that limit unless it was like one or two a month.
- alphapapa 10y agoTwo solutions: 1. Make certain articles freely available. They're not stupid--they can figure out which ones will draw people in. 2. Do it LWN-style: the current week's edition requires a subscription, after that it's free. If it's well-written, people will pay to not be a week behind.
