If you like the NYT enough to read it, just pay for it.
- baddox 16y agoIf they want to establish the fact that their content is worth money, they should actually require a payment to view their content.
- will_lam 16y agothey want both SEO juice and to impose a limit on how many free articles you can read. They're going to be forced to come up with a more sophisticated solution to enforce their paywall instead of the half-baked one they have right now.
- scott_s 16y agoThey have made it quite clear that they want readers to pay for the content they access. I know, you said "require," which implies that you think they should make it nigh-impossible for you to read without paying. But this is not a legal distinction. They want you to pay. You know this.
- tomjen3 16y agoI don't but if I did I certainly wouldn't pay that much. A penny an article is fair enough and ensures they actually have to make each and every article worth paying for. This just screams "old media", we can't innovate.
