Yeah even companies as arrogant as WSJ knows how to run a promotion for $50/year. SA’s promotion is $200/year?LOL

Thinking of Yahoo finance. They have a lot of views, good stock news and quote, good forums. All They needs now is to lure SeekingAlpha contributors to post articles on Yahoo Finance. And they got advertising $$ to pay article writers. I see where the future is heading now

This is a lose-lose situation. Seeking Alpha’s article comments section are valuable and entertaining for most users, and it’s truly why SeekingAlpha is here today. If seekingalpha puts it behind an expensive paywall, whoever do not pay for premium could not be able to comment - then seekingalpha is inflicting injuries on itself. This is why it’s a lose-lose situation. What SeekingAlpha can do is to establish another “Plus” tier, say $5 dollar a month, like Disney, and allow access for most articles. Then Put all those premium article under $300 Premium plan. SeekingAlpha should also realize in today’s world, it’s better to have a lot of users paying $10 than to have a few guys grudgingly shedding out $300. Can I also get contributor commission for such a nice idea, SeekingAlpha, since it’s money talk anyway:-)?
