They may start charging anyway whether anyone registers or not. I think a lot of them may have to start charging or go out of business. Some already are charging but no major ones I'm aware of yet. Maybe now I wouldn't register with them, very rarely do anywhere any more unless for good reason.
But I don't understand why you can't read the article without registering and wonder if any other posters who have never registered are having the same problem.
And why can I read the article without signing/logging in? I'd be hard put to remember exactly what I registered under. I swear I cannot keep up with all my stupid user names and passwords I use around the web lol. And I haven't joined a new site for a long time now. And there are only two sites where I'll go see my "greeting card" because I believe a lot of them are to collect valid email addresses for spam or possibly worse.
BTW, after I cleaned my cache, I picked up one more piece of garbage from the NYT because I left the browser open. So I cleaned it out and closed it.
Same. But this is third time today I could not view article. And last 2 weeks I actually posted NYT articles and linked to them here.
Who knows.
parsy.
