    Does the NYT realize they're training me not to pay them? Do they think after hitting their paywall 1000 times, I'll pay the 1001st?

        @paulg An understanding of how to build a business on the Internet is not built into their DNA. Is this true of all pre-Internet companies?

        @paulg How should they revolutionize their monetization ? I hate paywalls. I've got a few ideas how NYT could make more. What about you ?

        @paulg @Richard_Florida Actually, if you don't pay, you are not in their actual customer base, so its fine for them that you don't pay.

        @paulg the NYT is well aware that many individuals get around the paywall--but large corps and institutions still have to pay.

        @paulg @Richard_Florida They should be using a progressive variable ratio training schedule. Better resistance to extinction.
