re: #33 Lidane

It doesn’t matter what it costs. Most people won’t pay it. You can’t give millions of people access to your content for free for years on end, then turn around and start charging them for it.

There are far too many other sources for free online news out there that people will just remove the NYT from their bookmarks and go elsewhere. Putting everything behind a paywall is stupid and will fail, just like it did when they tried putting their editorials behind a paywall.

I was a daily paper reader. Black fingers & all. Now I hit the internet first thing.

I miss the bullshit local stuff - the crime etc.

But I definitely miss the comics and dear Abby. Oh well.
