New York Times Pay-Per-View

Cidu Bill on Mar 27th 2011

So how long until the Times reverses their new online subscription scheme? I figure no later than the end of this year, when they realize that only 6 people have actually paid up. nytimes.com is already free to subscribers of the print edition, everybody is allowed to read 20 full articles a month, and already people have figured out with more loopholes than General Electric’s tax attorneys — so who’s the paying audience?

And if I had any doubt that the Times has no idea what they’re doing, I just got a message on the Times app on my smart phone that while internet visitors will be entitled to 20 free articles a month, anybody using the app will have to pay for every article.

In other words, “Thank you for your loyalty and for downloading our app, and now screw you.”
