From 14 cents/day to 21 cents/day, oh the humanity. One may have to start actually picking up those loose coins they see on the sidewalk and take out a second mortgage.
Still dirt cheap.

Got the notice, called JS Online to cancel (thinking I'd get an Iowacheese Direct TV rate)-------no go.
I'll just have to charge my customers more.
Or split up your reading habits between multiple computers/cell phones.
Until the JSO and others utilize newer technology, you can defeat the number of free articles per month by simply deleting your browser history and not have to pay to read. I do it on an almost daily basis. Simply delete your browising history, then close your browser (IE9 in my case) and re-open it a little bit later and your all set to go again.
Their current method of tracking your on line viewership is (I think) based on a cookie they put on your PC, that tracks the number of articles read per month (the JSO currently gives you 15 freebies per month). Once you delete all cookies, and close your browser and re-open it the next time you log on and read an article a new cookie is established starting your freebie numbers anew.
I am by far NOT a PC expert, but that has worked for me so far. I guess I dont mind paying, but now that I'm unemployed, every dollar counts.

BK - Just fire a couple workers. Who needs 'em.
It's easy peasy and all phones and browsers have the feature.
Look for 'in private' browsing.
I can't say for sure if it's a cookie or IP address logging, but either way, when you do 'in private', a website has no access to 'who' you are and can never make the decision for you.
Check your phone for a(n) "incognito" or "private" browser page, you can read all you want. Browsers have the same deal and it's not hard to find. Or you can combo platter and once you are 'used up' in IE, switch to Chrome, then to Firefox or whatever you like.
It works like a charm. Sometimes I even feel guilty enough to click on a few links to get them some 'web-cred'. :P

Hmmmmmmm........
Think I may try that.

Still not as bad as the Green Bay Press-Gazette. If these two papers would just get smart and allow people to buy a subscription to their Packers articles, they would end up brining in a lot more money in the long run. I imagine there are lots of people like me are put off by paying for access to local articles about "important" things like a full recap of the meeting of the local school board to discuss rising school bus fuel expenses.
Wonder if they'll lose 50% of their readership?
I did that from the get-go but it got to be a real pain in the ass due to constant use. The original deal from MJ/S worked for me. I will have to try the suggestion from Cavetoad, below, as I have never used 'private browsing' before.quote:Originally posted by DurangoDoug:

I use different browsers, each give the same amount of articles.
. Yes this is true. The customer must pick up 95 percent of the overhead.quote:Originally posted by Blair Kiel:quote:Originally posted by Grave Digger:
