More than "one free article"; I checked and TheBaffler seems to allow you read 4 articles(/mth?) before subscription-walling.

- smcin 2y agoThe point was clearly that the site seemed to have different (monthly) free limits for EU/US, and that anonzzzies was served a different page to me. No need to be rude.
- anonzzzies 2y agoIt literally says it at the bottom for me; from the start; maybe elsewhere it’s another number or it lies. Point stands no? Article writing about subscriptions wants a subscription.
- smcin 2y agoInteresting; I'm in the US; where are you? Also, mobile/desktop? (It literally doesn't say it on the webpage served to me; don't assume the same version is served to all countries)
- anonzzzies 2y agoEU and mobile; it pops up right away and says 1 article. I tried to view another one and that indeed got me to the payments page.
- smcin 2y agoMust be due to the GDPR then.
- anonzzzies 2y agoDoubt it but people seem to misinterpret gdpr rules all the time. Americans are especially paranoid about the letter of the law while here we only use the intention. It’s all only about big offenders not some blog no one reads.
- smcin 2y agoI didn't say "GDPR rules", more like a business decision about how many free articles to allow non-subscribers to view in GDPR vs non-GDPR region.
