Free enterprise system; why should you get something for nothing? Which leads to the age old question "Why buy a cow when they're giving milk away for free?" I'd be interested in knowing how well the paywall concept is working out for the news sites. I certainly can understand the attraction since it's hard to sell fishwrap these days but actual news has many sources. As far as editorial content I'm no more interested in the pundit chatter at WaPo than the 'Vip' content at TownHall.com. |

If nobody reads your paper nobody will advertise in it. |

Those that reference it should know this and find a site that does not charge if they want to pass it on. Micky is out of his depth on most of his postings and may not even know this. |

Does not work for der Speigel. No problem with Spiegel and Firefox on Linux; Sanders und Warren attackieren Debütant Bloomberg scharf Von "arroganter Milliardär" bis "rassistische Politik": Michael Bloomberg musste sich bei seinem ersten TV-Duell einiges von den demokratischen Mitbewerbern anhören. Doch der schwerreiche Politiker hielt dagegen. I like that 'Debütant Bloomberg'. Sounds better auf Deutsch. Stick a fork in Mini Mike. He's checked about every box in the stereotype. |

Turning it off and on bypasses needing subscription with der Spiegel and NYT but have to leave it on for Wapo. |

That already has it's own problems. This was a money decision. |

It causes you to log in and he gets to collect a whole lot more data about you. Data is what Bezos bases his business model on. If you haven't seen it, check out the 2 hour story about Amazon on Frontline (PBS). You will be impressed and scared a little at the same time when you find out they are in bed with the CIA. |
