I kinda hate advertisements. News generates value and requires resources to write. The advertisement model was alright, but clearly WSJ decided that they're better off just forcing you to subscribe to get their news, and frankly it's not a bad deal. I do wish there was a "metanews" subscription I could pay to get access to every news source collated together and summarized.

Not to get too far into meta discussions, but It sucks when only part of this forum is able to discuss an article because of access issues like this.

I see that WSJ wants to make money, but at least not link those articles in a discussion forum when only a small portion of the participants can access it.
