I wouldn't call the NYT using JavaScript to enforce a
non-subscriber article reading limit a "misuse". They are
simply trying to avoid theft of their property. My guess is
that they could better secure their paywall if they really
wanted to but find the limited free article thing is good
advertising when people randomly pop in from Google and
elsewhere (and hopefully subscribe). I doubt there are all
that many JavaScript thieves out there anyway so the bottom
line is still likely better served by having a weak paywall...

I agree that the NYT article-limit paywall can easily be circumvented by a
variety of methods, although it's confusing which ones work for what
browsers, as I don't use Chrome (ever!) but I have plenty of Chromium-based
browsers (e.g., Epic, Opera, Iron, etc.).

The author also noted that there's a "free trial" for some, for example:
o Wall Street Journal-14 Day Free Trial
o The New York Times-14 Day Free Trial
o The Economist-30 Day Free Trial
o TIME Magazine-30 Day Free Trial
o The Washington Post-14 Day Free Trial

Given my browser philosophy is to set up one browser for one task, I don't
use extensions (except in the case of those that are part of the browser
itself, so to speak, such as with TBB & Epic for example).

I think killing the NYT cookies would reset the article count timer on
just about any browser. The problem is that many (most?) browsers have
no EASY way of killing cookies. Just being able to push a button and see
how many cookies I've murdered is my easy way...

as I don't use Chrome (ever!)

Perhaps wise. Recently some Chrome extensions were found with spyware.
But then I also regularly drive on the freeway...

Hi Mike,

Thanks for modifying the subject line, as I had debated whether the topic
(circumventing all newspaper paywalls versus just the NYT paywall)
warranted a new thread...

OLD SUBJECT:
o What does the NYT use to prevent "some" freeware browsers from reading
too many of their articles for free?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/DjolxgX2-4w

I also agree on oldishness, where. in my defense, I posted titles verbatim:
o The date says 2019 but the article title says 2020 (verbatim copied)

It does "seem" to be "updated", but you checked those updates better than I
did, which I appreciate, since it takes a team to figure this stuff out.

The allure, of course, is that one or more of the five methods proposed
will allow people to circumvent the huge list of newspaper paywalls that
the article said was circumvented with their five proposed methods:
1. Use Firefox/Chronme Browser Add-on
2. Open Article in a Private/Incognito Browser
3. Use Outline.com to Extract Article Text
4. Disable JavaScript in Your Browser
5. Manually Delete the Adwall Layer

The nice thing about Usenet is interested folks can tell the rest of us,
over time, which of those five newspaper paywall circumventions worked.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for being purposefully diligent in your detailed detective work.

It's great you give that repeated warning about the browser extension,
where the original thread, from January 26th, 2020, was asking about the
NYT seemingly random interface and "why" it was so capricious (i.e., "how"
did it work and why did simply using another browser, clearing cookies,
changing IP, etc., resolve the issue).

The June 23rd update with the five steps, only one of which was that
"intrusive" extension, was purely to add value to the original thread topic
(where it was, as noted, debatedly, a new thread topic).

Personally, I don't plan on testing _any_ of the five methods, least of all
would I plan on adding any browser extension (given it's well known I don't
use extensions, as per my browser philosophy which obviates that need):
o *Discussion of two different privacy-related browser philosophies*
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/H4694--5znY

However, _others_, who might wish to test out the five methods, one of
which is the browser extension, are fully forewarned by your helpful
digging into the operation of the extension (which was the first of five
methods).

As you're aware, the high expense of freeware is in the testing and
selection of the best, where this one may very well be a reject.

What I'd like to see is an unbiased review of the extension, where it
"could" be that the article I quoted a day ago could very well simply be a
shill for the extension for all we know at this point.

The beauty of Usenet is "someone" out there, who is purposefully helpful,
and, who might have a need for one or more of those paywalled newspapers,
might try it out and tell us, the hoi polloi, what their outcome was!

If they have a need for the tools, they'll try them out as I'm not gonna
try, but I don't want or need to circumvent the paywalls myself.

Me? My use model for online news is pretty typical.

If/when I run into a site, like the NYT, that has a limitation, I most
often just kill the site and I then find that same news elsewhere, where
it's _always_ elsewhere, simply due to the nature of the medium (rarely,
but possibly time lapsed, generally by only hours).

I could put permanent paywalled news sites in my hosts file (which is
already well over 50,000 domains long), but I often read just the first
paragraph, which generally summarizes the gist of the content anyway.

It's the same extremely short-fuse use model I use for intrusive ads on
Windows, e.g., if I'm watching a YouTube video, and the ads become
intrusive, I simply find the topic elsewhere (admittedly I trend toward
documentaries which can be widely found).

I have a very short fuse (no more than five seconds, for example) for any
intrusive ad on Windows. My fuse for newspaper paywalls is even shorter; if
it blocks me, I close down the browser tab and find that news elsewhere.

Since I break a _lot_ of news on some newsgroups, the fact is that you can
keep abreast of the news without ever succumbing to the paywall tricks (as
the news is _always_ found elsewhere, where, in the worst case, it's simply
time lapsed by a few hours before being found elsewhere if it's an
exclusive).

On Android, I never see an ad even with YouTube (due to the NewPipe app).

Hi Mike, (& anyone interested in the topic of online newspaper paywalls),
where every thread should strive to add on-topic related technical value...

Running a search on online news paywalls, most hits are of two types:
a. The business problem set
b. The consumer problem set

After reading about a dozen articles on the business topic, I learned that
they expect us to get around the paywalls, in most cases, and, in fact,
they want us to (so to speak) by designing them to be "leaky" in various
ways.

Here's a quick review of some of the business issues leading to those
decisions to make the paywalls leaky, where it was interesting to see they
design in both leaky paywalls, and back doors, on purpose, for people like
us, who only want an article or three a month.

The first hit is a review of all the "strategies" for online news paywalls:
1. The leaky paywall with side doors
2. Hard paywalls
3. The two-website, metered freemium model
4. The very leaky paywall
5. The no-paywall approach

o In paywall age, free content remains king for newspaper sites
https://www.cjr.org/united_states_project/newspaper-paywalls.php
"The most common paywall strategy among the daily newspaper publishers
we studied was metered access for non-subscribers with one or two
unlimited ´side door¡ exceptions."

Here's another article outlining the different types of paywalls:
o Paywalls: Are they effective?
https://iotechnologies.com/blog/monetization-paywalls
1. A hard paywall Example: The Times
2. A metered paywall Example: The New York Times
3. A freemium paywall Example: The Guardian

The articles below discuss some of the business issues I've highlighted.

o *Paywalls are a tourniquet for online news*
https://www.inverse.com/article/49965-the-internet-trap-matthew-hindman
"Most newspaper site-users visit just a few times a month.

More than 90 percent of site visitors never hit the paywall in the first
place. Metered paywalls thus ask for subscription revenue only from
heavier users.

Paywalls allow newspapers to perform price discrimination - to figure
out which users are most willing to pay, and then ask that group alone
to pony up."

o *Three reasons why journalism paywalls still don't work*
https://qz.com/1173033/the-psychology-behind-why-journalism-paywalls-still-dont-work/
"Take a moment to consider the emotions you feel every time you hit one
of these barriers. You start to engage with an interesting story,
then you're slapped with a pop-up. You roll your eyes.
A strange mix of indignity and disgust washes over you.
And most of the time, you click away.

Paywalls may eke out a profit, but they also accelerate a newspaper's
nightmare scenario - that readers will leave the site, try the free
stuff, and decide it's pretty much the same."

o *Are Paywalls Saving Newspapers?*
https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/are-paywalls-saving-newspapers
"For companies with high circulations and large amounts of exclusive
content, paywalls can increase overall sales, often by increasing demand
for print subscriptions."

"Newspapers with less exclusive content, however, have generally
experienced losses when they started charging readers to access
digital editions"

o *Before You Put Up a Paywall, Read This Study*
https://www.ama.org/2019/03/07/before-you-put-up-a-paywall-read-this-study/
"For every online advertising dollar gained, newspapers lose up to $16
in offline advertising dollars."

"Heavy users bring in more subscription revenue while casual readers
(typically a majority of traffic) bring in more advertising revenue"
--
After studying the problem, they came up with "leaky" paywalls & "side
doors" in many cases (for the casual reader like we generally are).

Hi Mike,

Always striving to add on-topic technical value...

Now that we covered that the newspapers studied their business problem
in depth, coming up with "leaky paywall" and "back door" strategies
for we casual users (and a hard paywall for the whales), it's now
time to look at some of those back-door circumlocution methods that
they've handily left open for people who are casual users
(trading subscription revenue for ad revenue in that process).

The "side door" seems to be defined in an article I covered prior:
"We studied whether the site's paywall left open side doors for
private browsing (when users set their browsers to reject tracking
cookies), search referrals, and social media referrals."
https://www.cjr.org/united_states_project/newspaper-paywalls.php

Here's a bunch of the "side doors" and "leaky" paywall situations:
o Testing news paywalls: Which are leaky, and which are airtight?
https://www.cjr.org/business_of_news/news-paywalls-new-york-times-wall-street-journal.php
"The New York Times pioneered the alternative soft, or leaky model
in 2011. It allowed non-subscribers to read 20 articles per month
(since reduced to 10). And, it created mechanisms for unlimited access.

The exceptions worked like this: When a reader arrived at a story
through a search engine or by clicking a link on social media,
that story wasn't counted toward the free allotment.

The meter would kick in only if the reader clicked on another article
on the site.

Non-subscribers could also subvert the mechanism entirely by manipulating
cookie files, a common marketing tracker stored on readers' computers.

Deleting cookies restarts the counter tracking how many stories a user
has read, and the private mode built into most browsers prevents
cookies from being saved in the first place."

Yes, it still is.

Just as if I put out a plate of cookies with a sign that says:

"Cookies: 25¢ each"

It is stealing even though the cookies are already there for the taking.

Agreed.

I also "subvert the process" on many other news websites by blocking
their revenue producing ads (shame). My Android SmartNews news
aggregator app has a "smart" feature that eliminates the ads (shame). My
Firefox browser has a reader mode that eliminates the ads (shame). And
my Firefox JavaScript off extension destroys my local newspaper's
article limit count (shame). When I'm reading news on my Android tablet
and an article pops up with a "you've reached your limit" box, I just
plug in a mouse and continue reading the article by mouse wheeling it on
by in the background (shame). I admit it. I'm a serial online news content
theftist (no shame). Oh, and I speed on the freeway too... 8-O
