I tried to read two articles this morning.  I signed in and do not have PRO, but could not complete the articles.

This site sucks now. Up until 01/03/2021 it was ok. And now you cannot read a few lines before it asks you to signup for premium.

Sad, I have enjoyed seeking alpha and mostly go to comments and see how the community is reacting to stock market news. They are going to be losing massive amounts of traffic to their site. 5 dollars per month would be an appropriate amount to have access to articles.

Sad to no longer be using seeking alpha

That is not what the new instructions state. They say the number of articles you can access per month has a cap. I do not know what the number is.

i have been reading SA since 2008. member since 2013, when registration became mandatory. While the quality of articles has steadily decreased over the years, i still find great value in the comments.

i am sorry that the pervasive and intrusive pop up ads covering 30% of my display dont generate enough revenue to support quality content, but wish you luck in your attempt to survive behind your paywall.

goodbye and good luck.

I was a big seeking alpha fan but this change is trash. I cant even read the news stream stuff without being forced to pay?  Time to move on.

I've been a loyal and regular Seeking Alpha reader for many years - until today. Not sure how many "free" articles you're allowed per month, but if I hit my limit on January 5th - it's not many. 

Goodbye!  There are too many other sites that don't require a pay-wall!

Agree - what a rip off! I hit my limit today also. I may have glanced at 10 or so articles. WHAT IS THE CAP?? Was given no prior notice of this change. Guess I will go elsewhere for my info.
