Limiting viewing of articles to 10 or so a month is nothing more than an aggravation

[bigtree]

. . . certainly not incentive for me to 'subscribe' to read more. These rags think their readership was down before . . . not only won't they get my money to read their nonsense, it will likely be some time before I drift back to see more. In fact, it's aggravating enough to just stop visiting their sites altogether. They've really overestimated my appetite for their often contrived, and frequently biased and incomplete articles - that applies to every rag that's presented me with a paywall.

I seriously doubt they are the solution to any media money woes, and I firmly believe these restrictions on their readership will be a nail in their coffin.
