- x0x0 11y agoYes, paywalls / subscriptions. Which this thread is notably dedicated to bitching about. Other than that, not really. As demonstrated both by personal experience (I've worked for a large pub; many acquaintances work for large-ish pubs) and the utter lack of success of the majority of publishers attempting this.

- devishard 11y agoSo, I guess that effectively disproves the "utter lack of success of publishers trying this". I have no qualms about paying subscriptions, and you won't find a post in which I'm "bitching about" subscriptions. Instead of trying to create an alternate reality in which I'm somehow demanding things for free, how about you respond to my actual arguments?
