COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Um, I assume this is WaPo. My one paid sub is the NYT. Would like WaPo, too but am on fixed income (with the walls closing in). However there's a aimple hack on the aracana of its paywall.
ReplyDeleteIt uses Java Script to give you that Bronx cheer. If you use NoScript (highly recommended) then you can disable just Wapo.com scripting. The page will be ugly and some of the pix will not show, but mostly I can read the story.
It is. I'll clarify that in the post.
ReplyDeleteMy only sub is NYT, so I can read Paul Krugman's newsletter. I got it on an introductory $4 a month, and that just expired up to $12 a month. If it goes up any further I can't afford it and I will cancel. For years you could avoid the paywall by deleting the cookies every night, but that stopped working last year. Seems to still work on WAPO, though I haven't specifically checked. Haven't run up on any article I couldn't read yet, but I don't read them that much.

I flipped Jeffy the friendly finger when he wanted me to pay him a dollar to read Doonesbury.
ReplyDeleteHave so far managed to avoid ever buying anything on or having anything delivered by Amazon. Stop going into Wild Oats when it became Whole Foods, can't imagine ever even turning into the parking lot though I should caveat back then it had more to do with yuppyfying a good store, jackin' the prices up on stuff readily available elsewhere, cheaper.
Am I missing any ... ?
If one subscribed to all the papers one wanted to read a few articles a week or month on it would easily add up to hundreds of dollars.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd like to see is a payment aggregator who would accept a single payment for a bunch of tokens, not unlike in-game gold. You'd then pay for each article you wanted to read separately; the publisher would then cash in all the tokens each month for a single large payment.
