So this was inevitable. But there's hope, read whole thing.

    Dear Nautilus reader,

    With your help, we’ve had an amazing two years. Two National Magazine Awards, a Webby for best science website, and dozens of other awards. Nearly 10 million readers. Print subscribers in 40 countries.

    What a great start! But it’s just the beginning. There are many more stories to tell.

    To help us tell them, we are changing the way we serve our content. Starting September 3rd, the first seven feature articles you read each month will be free, as usual. But further feature reading will be restricted to Nautilus Prime members.

    It’s an incredible value at the special price we’re offering you, our newsletter subscribers: just $10 for a whole year. You can subscribe here

    with the coupon code prm15. Or you can get a print subscription

    , which includes Prime for free.

    Joining Nautilus Prime gets you free and unlimited reading of all of our content—plus free tablet editions of our print magazine, and free eBooks of all our issues. We even remove all the ads from our site when you’re logged in.

    (Our Facts So Romantic blog, and our Three Sentence Science news feed will be free and exempt of the monthly read limit. Same for shared stories, or links that you follow from social media, top aggregators, and search.)

    Your continued support will help Nautilus remain one of the best sources of science journalism anywhere. Join us!

    Our very best,

    The Nautilus Team

So, ten bucks. War Nerd pricing this ain't. I think I'll pull and I bet a good number of you will as well. If for some reason you can't afford a ten dollar entertainment expense, cool, message me for access. shrug

PS what the shit is markup

PPS kill me

ButterflyEffect:

This isn't very surprising and for $10 that's well worth it if the quality of their articles stays where it is or even manages to improve with this decision. I'm hoping the subscription decision goes the way of NSWFcorp and now Pando for them.

Well worth it for a full year of well written and informative articles if you ask me.
