Salt Lake Tribune Pay Wall

No, actually not. What's it like?

Very conservative, very LDS, sort of the opposite of SLTrib. But I agree, the Trib comments are often hostile and over the line.

I agree with many of the posters often but when I try to present a moderate view or play devil's advocate even a little bit they attack and insult and get very aggressive. There have been times where I'm like "You realize we're on the same side on this, right? I'm just not willing to assume such and such." and it doesn't help. You're either with them 100% or they are 100% against you.

Hasn't the model always been to get paid by advertisers?

The SLTrib is not in a position to charge a fee. I just don't see how that's going to work. Especially not $8/month. If it was $2/month I might pay it.

Who's going to pay for advertising online when 90% of us use adblocking software? There's no money in that.

How much is a subscription to the paper itself? It's around $12 for a month of the paper I get, the Standard Examiner.

They certainly owe it to their readers to not make any group feel targeted and hated. Would they tolerate post after post of anti-gay material, for example? Not a chance.

Anti-gay material? Probably.

Hositility? No.

There's a difference.

Though what people would consider hostile will likely be different.

Da **** is ad blocking software?
 
I haven't read anything from the Tribune since the wall was built.

I used to read at least 5 articles per day.

I can't see how they're going to stay in business.

I spend less money on a subscription to the Washington Post. The Post is superior to the Tribune.

Are you for real Fish? Where the **** have you been the last 5+ years. Have you not used a computer or internet in that time? Get an ad blocker ASAP on your browser!

How do you get an ad blocker? App Store? Just google ad blocker and pick one? Insert a floppy disc into my disc drive? Are some better than others? How much do they cost?

It depends what it's for. There are plenty of free ones. Just Google them for whatever device and browser you are wanting it for. I just read the reviews and pick a decent one.

Or you can pick up a floppy disc from the library and put it on your computer. They will give you instructions for it.

Yeah, it was one of my daily reads. One of the links that Google keeps on my home page. $8 is stupid, they really should have aimed a little lower. For $2 I'm in. For $5 I'd think about it.

They are probably done.
