I’ve sent a letter to the New York Times requesting a change to their current policy on shared articles. Please consider sending similar letters to other publications with similar paywall structures. Subject: Suggestion for New York Times Paywall Policy Dear New York Times Team, I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing regarding your current paywall system, which limits non-subscribers to five articles per month. After reaching this limit, further access is blocked by a subscription prompt. I would like to propose an alternative approach. Instead of limiting the number of free articles, I suggest allowing unlimited views of shared articles but restricting non-subscribers to viewing only the specific shared article. Once they’ve viewed the article, they would then encounter a subscription prompt. This change could help increase your reach and attract more potential subscribers. Currently, once a non-subscriber hits the article limit, they can no longer access any content. By removing this restriction, you could engage more readers and drive subscriptions. I recommend testing this for a few months and reviewing the results. Thank you for considering my suggestion. Best regards, [Your Name]
