I would suspect that the target demographic for sites like this is much more likely to be using ad blocking plugins, adding a further hurdle to monetization.

- bkor 13y agoI block ads, but I have a subscription on LWN. Probably would have done the same on h-online if their comment section would be a bit more integrated. I've been reading this site for various years, the reporting is pretty good.
- sbarre 13y agoI'm with you on that. I gladly subscribe to sites I enjoy, for exactly the same reason (Ars Technica, Giant Bomb, etc) I was pretty new to h-online, but I suspect it would have joined the list of paid subscriptions sooner or later (assuming they offered it).
