I am a Member but now I am not allowed to read any article. When I click, I get a screen saying that I have reached my limit eventhough I have not read the article and I get a screen sasking me to become a Premium subscriber. This is non sense.

I am having the same issue. I know they want me to sign up for Premium, but is there a way to avoid this?  Just started to happen about 2-3 weeks ago. Any input is welcome.

I am getting the same. Came out of nowhere. Frankly, 90% of the articles are not worth even the time to delete, the other 10% worth it with the comment section being the prime mover.  That is why I never moved to Premium in the first place.  Please tell me this is a glitch and not a strong arm tactic to move everyone to Premium, a rediculously expensive, low value option.

What a great way to send viewers to other sites! They tell you you have reached your limit but don't telll you what that limit is! It appears to be zero.

I have been a long time Seeking Alpha subscriber. Now I am blocked from reading articles unless I pay $240/yr. 90% of the articles do not interest me at all, even though I tried to direct them to my stocks of interest or favorite authors. Most of those favorite authors, in turn, are now hiding behind pay walls, so I have to kiss more and more frogs on SA before I find a Prince. In retirement, I cannot afford or justify the price of these private subscriptions, that cost many more times than I could possibly gain from my limited investments, especially if I don't want to commit everything I have into one of these highly specialized segments.  And now, with the best traditional articles hiding behind expensive private pay walls, SA wants me to pay for the gleanings that are left. No thank you. I'll seek the Seeking Alpha I remember somewhere else.

I was just cut off for clicking on too many articles.  I wish I knew the number for the limit.  I got into the habit of just clicking and reading the beginning summary.  I can do without SA.  What are our alternatives to SA?  Unfortunately, I have gotten a lot of business for SA by recommending to others.  Time to let them know.

It appears that SA wishes to close down the site. No thinking site manager would, without notice, suddenly cut off members, with no explanation. It's too bad for site posters, as they will lose many followers with no ability to direct them to other sites.

I am also a premium, paid subscriber. Clicked on an interesting article, allowed to read briefly (a tease) then blocked, without offering the way to resolve this. I thought the benefits of subscribing was more access to relevant opinions over the free site. Will review the ad.
