If I pay for a subscription service of an author, will I maintain the ability to go back and look at their previous articles without paying for PRO or PRO PLUS?

I'm paying for this content, so I hope that does not fall within the time limit constraint as those were not the terms I agreed to when I first signed up. 


Also my overall comments on this new subscription are as follows.


I believe this change actually hurts the authors more than the readers. An author spends hours on researching and writing an article in the hopes of gaining a following. A reader decides to "follow" an author once they have shown consistent success in their stocks picks. If a reader loses the ability to look back and see how successful an author was, the chances of them gaining followers and eventually paid subscribers are significantly reduced.


A more discrete way to monetize would have been to take a bigger cut of author subscriptions. I currently subscribe to one author, however I was considering a second to the tune of $100/mo in total subscriptions. Now I'm going to hold off out of fear that the author will likely reduce their participation on Seeking Alpha with the limited reach they now have.

Hi,


Thanks for the very thoughtful feedback. 


As a subscriber to an author's Marketplace service, you have unlimited access to all their articles. This applies to both articles written within the service and also published on the general site.


Thanks,

Daniel
