Flexible pay

So if you pay, do they eliminate all the annoying ads?

They've have exponentially more readers if they'd just did this and sprinkle a few quality ads here and there.

They're doing you a favor by not letting you read that shite pile of a website

Surprised it took them this long

Who cares?

Just open the webpage in a private tab every time. Works for every other newspaper website except WSJ.

Not sure about the Advocate, but with a lot of news sites if you delete the cookies/browsing history it resets and you can continue to receive free articles
NOT paying for it.

I only spot check them to see if they are ripping off our posts.

I can get 99% the newspapers websites free (including ads) by using a certain kind of browser on my phone.
I was just reading The Advocate 5 minutes ago.

If you pay, Will they eliminate grammatical errors and report the news correctly?

I’ll continue to go to NOLA.com. Their outsider perspective on the city really makes you understand local issues.

Never looked at it when it was free, so it wont effect me now that they want you to pay.

Cancelled my sub years ago and they still deliver daily. I have called several times to let them know and they still deliver.

I only pay for the actual paper, that is delivered to my home, so I can eat boiled seafood on it. And to read the sports section. The rest of the Advocate is a dumpster fire. No way I’d pay for an online subscription.
