"You've reached your free article limit."

Logged-in to my account (been a member since 2016) and read a couple of articles, made a couple of comments.
Tried to access another article, and received a pop-up window stating that, "You've reached your free article limit."
Logged-out and back in, and immediately received the same pop-up window/message.
Logged-out again, cleared my History and cache, restarted my computer, clicked on the email to be able to review the S.A. article that I was interested in, and logged back into my account with S.A.
Immediately received the same BS pop-up message again.
Niiiiice!

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out!

In order to continue providing our users with outstanding financial analysis and news, we changed our Paywall policy in January 2021.

You can read more about this change here: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4396836-important-update-for-seeking-alpha-users

The good news is that you can still access any article on any stock, even without a paid subscription, though there is a monthly limit to how much you can read.

We do notify the member of when they are close to reaching their limit and when they have reached their limit with the following banners:

If you want to keep reading past the limit, you can just go ahead and start your free two-week trial of Seeking Alpha Premium - no commitment required.

Premium, apart from providing you unlimited access to analysis articles also provides you with many other powerful tools that can help you with your investing. You can get an overview of the service here.

Thank you and please feel free to reach out if you need any more help!

Have not seen the $49 offer anywhere yet, will keep an eye open! 

SA just started offering a $39 annual promotion for the 1st year subscription. Lowest price I've seen. So I finally paid up and subscribed. I'll cancel at end of 1st year since it's $20 a month thereafter and that's too steep a price for me.
