- ForHackernews 11y agoor pay for the New Yorker because they do really excellent work.
- skorecky 11y agoTo read one article once every few months at best is not worth it. Edit: I spoke my opinion. Down vote me!
- 3JPLW 11y ago(If you only read one article every few months, you wouldn't be hitting their pay wall)
- NDizzle 11y agoI am hitting their pay wall by occasionally clicking links from HN. I never read the full articles, but I skim roughly 4x the amount of information provided before the pay wall. It's not worth the full price for me. I'd like a happy medium.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoSo, your medium is free content as often as you want it? What's in it for them?
- PaulyGlott 11y agoThere's no shortage of advertising on The New Yorker.
- freehunter 11y agoThat killed me when I subscribed to the NYT online. I was paying $15/mo and seeing as many ads as I would expect from a free site. I love the NYT journalism and am willing to pay for it, and I understand they have bills to pay, but it's a lot of money to be sitting on ads. In fact I canceled my subscription (not a quick or easy process) and have the same amount of advertising on their NYT Now app whether I subscribe or not. So what's the point?
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoThis is how dead tree magazines and papers work. You pay for a subscription and you still receive ads. Why would they think the web should be any different?
- Retra 11y agoWhy would anybody take your money and not show ads when they can both take your money and show you ads?
