So, your medium is free content as often as you want it? What's in it for them?

There's no shortage of advertising on The New Yorker.

That killed me when I subscribed to the NYT online. I was paying $15/mo and seeing as many ads as I would expect from a free site. I love the NYT journalism and am willing to pay for it, and I understand they have bills to pay, but it's a lot of money to be sitting on ads. In fact I canceled my subscription (not a quick or easy process) and have the same amount of advertising on their NYT Now app whether I subscribe or not. So what's the point?

This is how dead tree magazines and papers work. You pay for a subscription and you still receive ads. Why would they think the web should be any different?

Why would anybody take your money and not show ads when they can both take your money and show you ads?
