[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

What’s with the Adver blocking their articles now unless you subscribe? You get to see the first paragraph and the rest is blocked.

Cunts

[Ginginho]

Not the case for me, maybe because you're outside the UK? All I see is 5% articles and 95% bullshit clickbait links and adverts. A horrible website.

[STFC_Manc]

I have the issue as well, it's quite annoying

[Panda Paws]

How dare a business charge for their service!

[Batch]

it allows you to read a certain amount of stories before the block.

private browsing/VPN usually get around it

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

You are correct. VPN solved it!

They're free to charge what they want.

But I won't be paying a penny. Their content is barely worth reading even when one doesn't have to pay. I might miss amusing myself with the banality of some of their article, though.

[Flashheart]

This one works for me, though.

And I take back what I said about worthless content - this one's a belter. Some quality compo arm folding and some prize comments below the article.

How do these muppets continually get into local newspapers?

If you are not following already can I recommend Angry People in Local Newspapers On Facebook, a daily dose of fumin arms folding in locals rags, having a poo next to a pot hole is another fave, the Advertiser appears very regularly.

It's a vicious cycle resulting from a combo of inept management and cultural resistance to pay for content. We'll never have a good product if we refuse to pay.

Out of interest, would people pay £5 a month for The Athletic level (standard and depth) of coverage?

[jayohaitchenn]

Nope
