diver Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I used up my 10 views. Do I have to subscribe? Somewhat expensive. Is that what you guys do to read Two Bills Drive articles?

Mike In Illinois Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 If you have a Twitter account you can view the articles the reporters (Tim Graham as an example) link to in their Tweets without counting against your 10 free views. Just click on the link inside the Tweet.
eball Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 It's so easy to circumvent the 10 story limit it's almost silly to even bring it up. Clear your cache, surf in "private browsing" mode -- the choices are endless.

bills_fan Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Don't even have to clear cache. Go to TBD. Copy the title of the article you want to read. In separate window, paste article title into google. Article comes up. Click on it and read it. It does not count against your 10 views because you found it through google. While I have no issues with papers offering content behind paywalls, to leave such a silly backdoor means that I will never pay for it.
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 to leave such a silly backdoor means that I will never pay for it. So basically, you're telling us that you like backdoor without having to pay for it.
bills_fan Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 So basically, you're telling us that you like backdoor without having to pay for it. Of course. Who doesn't?
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Clear your cookies, cache, and history. Voila you get 10 more views! LoL... Exactly what I was gonna say. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel does the same thing!
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Advertisers want readers. If people refuse to buy online subscriptions the BN has no option but to offer it for free.
BillsWatch Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Yes the current design of the pay news sites are only designed to catch those who have no concept of using software or other mechanisms to get around their gates. Many times they have just reposted articles available free elsewhere (i.e. AP articles) so charging readers toward their 'free articles' is silly. When this mechanism is finally recognized as failure (i.e. "Dummy's guide to getting around news site paygates" is printed) they will finally admit their model does not work and go to anther outdated model.
Zona Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 How do you get to "private browsing mode"? In Firefox, its tools, then start private browsing.
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Clear your cookies, cache, and history. Voila you get 10 more views! I live in Alaska. To me a cache is food you put up a tree to keep it from bears.How do you clear it?
