Does anyone read the observer?

[Zod]

Observer articles were. Staple in this joint many many moons ago. Now I never see them. Anyone still check their coverage out?

[LinvilleGorge]

Honestly, no.

[Mr. Scot]

I do but a lot of it is behind a pay wall now.

When you do get to read, Alaina Getzenberg is actually pretty good.

[TheCasillas]

They lock their content behind a paywall. In my opinion that’s not a good way to acquire new readers In today’s media.

They don’t have a choice really.

So many people use ad blockers now.

Yeah but they also don't create content worth paying for.

They do have a choice... offer free trials, locked articles, and exclusive content. even better... gamify your content so that users feel they are progressing their experience with the variety of additional content. 
 

give your user a reason to spend their money outside of getting the news.

My wife prints the crossword daily online.  Otherwise no.  Has not been interesting in a while.  Oddly I do miss the Sunday sports page but they got so ridiculously expensive we dropped it.

I think they give people X number of free views a month, but I could be thinking of another site.
