Paywall fail

2011-06-01 20:29:54.137006+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Just got mail from the New York Times, subject: "Come back to NYTimes.com to read your 20 free articles in June". Well, guys, frankly since I'm only allowed 20 free reads, I've been deliberately avoiding the NYT for those instances when people send me interesting links that I feel like I just have to read.

Here's a dirty little secret. You can read all you want of the current edition on the NYTimes Chrome web app.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
