NY Times Might Plug Paywall Holes
Facebook users who exceed 10 Times articles a month will now be shown a prompt to subscribe.
In an effort to adjust to the changing habits of digital readers, The New York Times is filling in some holes in its paywall.
The Times launched its paywall in 2011. In real life that’s not that long ago; in internet years, that’s forever. Back then, the Times thought allowing unlimited articles via Facebook and Twitter was a good idea. Now? Not so much. Re/code reports that the paper is limiting the number of articles Facebook and Twitter users can read without paying for a subscription.
