New York Times Halves Monthly Free Article Views To Ten

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @02:06AM from the nine-after-reading-this dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The New York Times has announced that, starting in April, visitors to NYTimes.com will only be able to access 10 free articles a month, down from 20 articles currently. The NYTimes paywall was put into effect last year, and seems to have been a success, with nearly half a million digital subscriptions to all of Times Co.'s websites; this despite the fact that the paywall is trivial to circumvent (for example, by deleting all cookies from nytimes.com)." The submitter included a link to the WSJ article on the change, which appears to also be paywalled.

Until you've experienced the full-throttled self-aggrandizement West Coasters(I used to live there...) swear by, you won't understand their puffery.
