diver Posted January 25, 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted January 25, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 28, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan Posted January 28, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted January 28, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 29, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted January 29, 2013 Share 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to getting around news site paygates" is printed) they will finally admit their model does not work and go to anther outdated model.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 Share Posted January 29, 2013 How do you get to "private browsing mode"? In Firefox, its tools, then start private browsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
