This is great, for a while it seemed 80% of the top 5's were WSJ, I got really tired of clicking to read a headline and getting the pop up saying something like "Wow, you clicks us a lot, you must like us, how about you pay?", Well no, actually you are just over ranked on so many topics...
- NathanKP 9y agoYeah I got annoyed for the same reason and used the Personal Blocklist Chrome extension to block WSJ from showing up in my search results at all. And recently I had to add Forbes to the same list.
- buxtehude 9y agoI was annoyed too ... in my case I subscribed.
- workerIbe 9y agoInterested, why? For any headline there are several sources, are you willing to pay just to click on the top link?
- buxtehude 9y agoNot all sources are equal in terms of quality and information provided in the linked to article. IMO, in certain areas (financial industry, investigative journalism, international business issues, etc.) WSJ consistently has better coverage than most other sources - so I'm willing to pay for it now that they've made it much harder for me to get to it. I regularly read other sources, and if at some point I feel I'm not getting enough value from WSJ, I'll cancel.
