I would gladly pay $55/year for access to the NYT online. I read at least 15 NYT articles per day on my iPhone ad-free every day. The quality of the articles is top-notch. The UI (of the iPhone version) is perfect and intuitive, and I'm surprised it's been free for so long. I'm guessing they make almost zero from online advertising in relation to print, so they don't have much to lose by going pay-only.
- lliiffee 18y agoI think it is very shrewd how they emphasize making it EASY to pay for each article. I would absolutely click a little 'pay $0.10' button. The trouble of pulling my credit card out of my wallet, typing everything in, worrying how the website is storing my info, etc. is a much higher cost than the $0.10. Eventually someone is going to figure out how to do easy large-scale micropayments, and it will be huge. Maybe iTunes will just expand scope forever.
