[QUOTE="Mercutio01, post: 4947929, member: 37277"] IN next month there are 10 "free" articles. There are 31 articles that require payment. The wallpaper galleries have 1 piece of art. One - every art asset from every book was never available online. Two - the art assets are not the art themselves. They are small low-dpi images. Three - You think it's a weak argument. I can point to my bookshelf, again, to point it out. Four - established policy for 9 years--let's say that again, 9 years--led to a "sense of entitlement" if you want to call it that. Let's say your cable company has had ESPN, USA, FX, and Discovery Channel (the channels you get the most use of) as part of the basic cable package for 9 years. Then you wake up Monday morning to find that those channels have now gone behind a subscription wall requiring you to pony up $10 more dollars a month to have access to channels you had yesterday. Are you stoic and happy? Or are you angry and considering that since cable no longer provides the service you want, you take your money elsewhere? Do you know what it means to act like a condescending know-it-all? I love the apologists for the "hey, we gave you all this stuff for 10 years, and now we going to charge you for it instead" people. I also love the "I'm not a jerk. I just pretend to be a condescending jerk on the internet" crowd. It's also nice that the galleries are still listed as Free on the calendars, and that there was literally zero notice that they were being absorbed behind the wall, and it was just kind of covered up by the website change.
