How much do you use the New York Times online?

The NYT online is cutting back the amount of free access you get a month from 20 to 10 articles. There may be a back door around this limitation. If you come in from a link from a search engine, you will be allowed five articles a day.

How much do you use the NYT now? Do you have a subscription? Do you think this tightened restriction will affect you? Will you go to the Times less often? Do you think this will enhance or decrease revenues for the NYT?

It’s on my home page with headlines. We used to subscribe, but now trade papers with a neighbor. It will probably will decrease revenues for NYT. I think the prediction that new papers will disappear will probably come true. So many people don’t read anymore. It’s a shame.

I don’t use the website anymore; couple of years ago, I was on two to five times a day.

Very rarely. If there’s a specific article that’s being passed around, I’ll go read it. But otherwise, the Times isn’t where I go to get my news.

I read the headlines daily and have been rationing my 20 free peeks. Now that it’s down to 10 I may subscribe. It’s the paper I grew up with and stayed faithful to during my times in Boston, Philadelphia and here.
