First time since joining seeking alpha I’m Receiving a free article limit message for about a week now.Didn’t receive any email or notice about a change on the site and not sure if others are experiencing same issue or if it’s a glitch I’m experiencing. If there is a new article limit how many is it and how/when does it reset?
I responded three weeks ago. Obviously more and more individuals are hitting this limit and searching for and finding this feedback forum and posting responses. At this point, it's just about the only email I get from Seeking Alpha anymore. It's nice. My inbox isn't as cluttered. I've moved into Corporate Bonds as they provide an assured income and I know what the bond will pay at maturity, so I have a fixed amount to lose from the amount I paid for the bond and the amount I will be paid at maturity. It's a great deal. Much better than SA and all the hawking of "ideas". SWAN guys. Good luck.

Your post tells me you miss SA. A lot. Otherwise you would have simply moved on.
I've been following SA for a while. I was notified I had reached my article limit per SA and now get an occasional full article if I'm lucky. What's funny is I noticed a person who had over 4K comments and was not a paying member and appears to be able to comment. I've made a lot less comments. I believe I was black balled or cut off from full articles due to my back and forth with PendragonY who in my opinion is very callous to people who comment over a articles written by Rida Morwa. PendragonY called me a Dude and told me to Chill Out. Not very professional. It appears to me that SA has a double standard. Bottom line. DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO.

I love the authors response to you. I also think SA has every right to do as they wish. Bottom line. It’s their site.
Many, if not all "Contributors/writers" of free articles are the owners of your "Marketplace" offerings. There are now 191 services offered in Marketplace. If I can't read their free articles, how am I supposed to determine how they think and whether what they're offering is right for me? I am a previous subscriber to one of those services and I'm always on the lookout for more. You are now shutting off my ability to find and subscribe to these people. What are you thinking?
I think what they are doing is great,
I have subscribed to two investment managers on your site. And you have me on a no read status.
How shortsighted are you? All of this information is available in the free realm, you are merely republishing and asking for fees to read. This is wrong and I am now going to explore other options than SA

Pendragon works with Rida and is his protector.
Good idea SA. this way, you will lose many free members and then also contributors since there won't be anyone to read the mediocore articles anymore.
Seems like it's the end of SA for me. Too bad, I have other free sources in the net fortunately.
There is no other industry in the world that offers more information and investing insights. The sources are endless. Who does SA think they are? They have not kept up with technology or creativity and clearly they haven't learned how to run a successful business. They've made it difficult for contributors and subscribers alike. They have become insignificant in the world of finance. This is how businesses go away. Bye bye.

I think they are doing a great job and I will continue supporting them by being a subscriber. I’m very happy they moved to a paid model. It should have never been free.
