The more interesting metric here would be signup. Is the NYT making more money with the paywall than without? Admittedly, it will take some time before any stats are meaningful, but I'd like to see whether the paywall is actually solving NYT's problems, and not some vaguely-related metrics. I remain skeptical that paywalls are a workable long-term solution for the problems paper journalism faces, but I'd like to see some evidence one way or t'other before making a decision.
