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?

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.

This limit is dynamic to the individual member, based on the device they use, the traffic source, and a number of other parameters. It resets itself every 28 days
.

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.


Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.

Regards,

FWIW, and I thought it was worth it, I got an offer for $39 on my PC for 1 year of SA Premium.  I took it.  Funny on my ipad & iphone the offer was $99  I find value in the comments.  Also, with a paid site, maybe it will cut back on the pumpers, like you get on StockTwits.

I find value in the comments too, and I don't mind paying a reasonable amount for something that I value. Problem is, how valuable will the comments be when 75% of the readership is gone?

Hmmmm.  Finally figured out how to sing up for new free account.  Read one article  and next time I went back, I had reached my limit.

Since they didn't need to provide even one article if they didn't want to, a little gratitude would be nice.

As near as I can tell, my monthly reading limit is ZERO articles. I guess Seeking Alpha just doesn't like me?

I keep wishing I could figure out a good way to tell SA that they have reached their limit for ads they send me trying to sell me their service.  And I wonder how stupid these people are when they send me an add for the service at $129  when I didn't buy it at $39.  Some crazy liberal who thinks everybody is stupid must have usurped power/.

Are you this much of a loser in real life, or is it only because you’re behind a keyboard?

Exactly. I haven't been able to read an article at any point in 2023. It definitely is not resetting every 28 days for me.
