Or, do what's fair and pay up if you like the articles..

  Is their $12/12 weeks method ~really~ that effective for news aggregation websites such as HN or Reddit? Unless you've been a subscriber to the physical subscription, and enjoy it I see no reason why someone from one of these sites would subscribe.

    I would gladly pay $1/week for the WSJ. Reporters and editors have mortgages to pay and families to feed. The problem is that's a teaser rate. The current rate for 1 year is $277. That's way more than I'm willing to pay for a single newspaper.

      But don't they earn through ads? Like other news websites.

      Ah yes I would do the same possibly - but Amazon Prime is $99 a year and offers has many more uses. After the 12 weeks I assume it automatically signs you up for a year/monthly subscription and you have to remember to cancel it. Also someone had already mentioned - they probably run many Ads as well. I just find it hard to justify.
