IMNTBHO, I would be willing to pay for a digital subscription if, like many here have said, you gave me in-depth analysis on the subject. More than I would find looking elsewhere. If I'm going to PAY for you service, I expect to had NO ADS.
On the flip side, if you want to show me A FEW ads, and give me the "50,000 foot" view of a story, along with a link to sign up for the digital subscription, I might be more inclined to visit your site. IF the part if the article you show me on the free site is demonstrative of your writing/reporting.
I agree with Mike, though. I think most people tend to get most of their information from a handful of source. I have techdirt as one of the pages that is automatically opened when my browser starts.... :)
For the record, my comment about TechDirt performing their due diligence was NOT, repeat NOT sarcasm. The only reason I read TechDirt is BECAUSE they are so completely thorough in their investigations and report the FACTS. No Fake News here.
Just wanted to clear that up. Big TechDirt Fanboy...... :)
Because.....while they have you pulled over, counting your cash (and salivating), YOU aren't on the road, so you're not causing any accidents! Or something. I guess. Right?
