Why can I not read the news articles anymore? I will begin reading the Articles and all of a sudden it says that I have to buy a service. Why has that changed? I have had the Seeking Alpha app for at least 10 years.

Why is Seeking Alpha preventing me from reading the news articles? I don't want to buy your service I just want to maintain a few portfolios and read some news articles. That is not worth any money to me. There are many free sites out there where you can do some other types of things. If you are not going to change this policy I'm going to drop your app and I could care less

I've had a basic account for years. I've reached my free article limit which is a magic number because its unknown. I used to be able to read the summary then the notice about reaching free limit. Now I don't see any of the summery. This is not going to end well.

I paid for a year subscription and am now receiving msgs that I have exceeded my limit for articles.  There is no limit, I paid for your service.  Please advise what is going on.

Long term user, at least 10 years. If you do not want us a users you're doing a great job. I'll never subscribe at 200 a year. That's outrageous for articles written by other long term users. At the point of blocking Alpha articles on my Google feed, did the same to the New York Times. Sad but I get it you need to make money but you're not providing value the users are providing value to users, you get to keep the ad money.

I went through all of the trouble to open a Basic account and got to read maybe 2 articles before being notified that I had reached my free article limit then I was notified that I had to upgrade to continue. I used to be able to read all articles. Why have a basic account if I can't read the articles? Please be forthcoming in the number of articles that I can read before one opens any account. If all I get is a nothing burger with a basic account then let me know and I will cancel it and block the emails that I get (even though I unsubscribed to them). What happened to Seeking Alpha?

Seeking Alpha is going downhill, with their attempts to charge a paywall for article access.
