The more fragile access to your content becomes, the less likely you’re able to make money off of it, the less likely your writers will get paid what they should be.

I just hope that they’ll do so before more sites follow their poor example and start eroding the foundation of their own business in an attempt at being “hip, modern and cool” as well.
