But there are not enough people doing it. I don't read 1-2 outfits, it doesn't make sense that my subscription should be limited to 1-2 outfits, but because I can't pay in small increments, it is. NYT is asking me to pay upfront for a value to them alone that I don't get from them alone. Why should I pay NYT over three other outlets that I read an equal amount? I can't afford to pay all 4.But all the people that do are keeping the lights on for the useless little articles about rhino poaching and bird migration that make that publication worth reading.
