If you were going to design a paywall, is this how you’d do it?
- retube 16y agoAnyone know how this experiment is going?
- forkqueue 16y agoI hear it's solved all their scaling problems at one fell swoop ;)
- chadgeidel 16y agoI used to read Jeremy Clarkson's article once a week. I can't any longer (without some kind of tinkering - which I'm not willing to do). I guess that's a few more pages they don't have to serve as I'm not going back.
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI used to read the comment/letters and sometimes look at the headlines. I don't bother now - they sent me the "we're closing the site, free trial" email and I thought it wasn't worth signing up for a taste and then getting locked out. Google News and the BBC are filling the gap for conventional news for me.
- m0tive 16y agoI have another issue with the paywall. With NoScript on, the links on The Times site just don't do anything (they just redirect back to the homepage). Surely some sort of noscript option is possible...
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoOne of the things they did do was move comments on stories over to the new site before the full transition, encouraging heavier online users to transition. That seemed quite a good move on their behalf, it almost made me sign up so I could troll^W write my informative comments there.
