> At launch, readers will get 10 free Wirecutter articles a month before being asked to pay for a subscription. Only a small proportion of Wirecutter’s readership currently reads more than 10 articles a month, said Linda Li, Wirecutter’s general manager. A small percentage of users visit the site more than 50 times a month. 10 articles feels like a pretty lax paywall, especially for something like Wirecutter articles. Anecdotal, but when I go there, I home in on exactly one article, which by its nature is an exhaustive roundup of many products, to do my research on something I’m considering buying. I can’t fathom needing 11 of these per month.
