Online reads. Will they still be FREE?

 I came across this article yesterday and I think that it is possible. We could be paying for online reads soon! 

SAN FRANCISCO - With their advertising revenue drying up, newspaper publishers spent much of the spring and summer debating whether to cut off free online access to some of the material they run in their shrinking print editions.

It looks like the talk will turn to action this fall, when some large newspapers are expected to put up Internet toll booths.

They'll be testing readers' willingness to pay for information and entertainment that mostly has been given away online for the past 15 years. That happened largely because most publishers could afford to subsidize their Web sites with profits from their print franchises. But now those profits have crumbled, just as the prices for online ads are tumbling, too.

OMG! right? heaven help us if we have to "insert coin" each time we read a newspaper article. Not to mention article jumps such as "read more". does that mean we should "insert more" coins too?! But yes, most internet users have disregarded ads on webpages they visit unless they are very very catchy. And they are catchy, 2 percent of the time.

Each time I log on and reply to online newsletters I do a spellcheck. I look for snonymous words to avoid repetition. I wonder if there are antonymous words, but whatever. Speaking of words, I'll be posting weird words that are surely catchy! soon.

BOOM BASS!
