When participants were provided with a compelling justification for the paywall—that the NYT was likely to go bankrupt without it—their support and willingness to pay increased.


Sarah Mirk spent a month in New York doing research for a book she’s writing (gonna be dope). She also drew a little love letter to NYC detailing her favorite bits, and it is delightful!
Let’s all go on walks and notice the little things this weekend. And then draw pictures of those things. And then stare at the pictures and smile, both at the memories, and our still-full (or, less-empty) wallets. And then send the pictures to me.
