This is going to hurt them. Web traffic will be down. They will become less relevant over the next few years.

I think what a lot of news organizations are realizing is, online is a loser. The ad model is so screwed up, that they aren't even making enough money to cover the costs of being online. especially if they also believe that free online cuts into paid paper subscription/purchase.

I think what The Athletic is doing is the future. High quality content that is paid by a fee.
