The magazine is great as a "New Yorker for Sience," but its non-payment of writers is a shame. Moreover, as Jeremy Kun out points below, quality is bound to suffer for it.

I, along with others here on HN, subscribed earlier this year to help Nautilus with its financial difficulties, so it could pay writers. And yet, many writers are still unpaid.

Is there anyone here from Nautilus who can explain what the heck is going on?
