"Free" worked for me 10-20 years ago. There was the old "if you aren't paying for it, then you are the product" adage. Now, even if you pay, you are being sold.

- disqard 8y agoFair point, but there are some exceptions. For instance, the Atlantic's Masthead subscription gives you ad-free access to their audio podcasts. Overall, I agree with you: once I am a paying subscriber of NYT (say), why should I be served the same ads as a non-subscriber viewing the same article in an incognito window?
