This is a disappointing development for SA. I've been an avid user for SA since 2011 and was a contributor for a period of time. The value of this community has been the open forum allowing for the sharing of opinions and ideas from amateur and professional investors. With this new development I'm sorry to say but I and I'm sure many others will be moving on. It's an unfortunate development for a business to release a notice on a "semi-holiday" with the only notice of the change having been the extended weekend.
I certainly understand the business implications of the paywall, but fully expect that the total web traffic and potential for new subscribers will drop due to a paywall only model.
