> quality journalism drives subscriptions. A more effective paywall drives subscriptions. Once you have a paywall, subscriptions are as much about clicks as ads. I don't have a subscription myself, but I have considered paying for one because acquaintances with a low bar for quality occasionally want to share and discuss something behind the paywall and I can't rely on all of them to know how to print a pdf and share that with me. As subscribers witness the quality decline, they'll cancel their subscriptions. The NY Times today is not the NY Times of A.M. Rosenthal.
