Seeking Alpha has a permanent pay wall now.  

Goodbye Seeking Alpha - we had a good run.  In a short time, you went from a free, user driven, investment website with quality articles - to a piece of crap paid site where most of your contributors post low quality articles either looking to attract potential customers to their own (overpriced) services, or seeking to avoid the paywall themselves.  Good luck with that model - your quality will slowly cycle down to zero.

@DGT Are you sure your 'advice' concerning this stock didn't clash with this author's - or some other author's - recommendation? I - and many others - have had comments pulled in the past because we spoke out against one of SA's more popular author's recommendations - and one that just happens to have a very large SA subscription service.  There is no doubt that speaking against an SA subscription author will lead to having comments pulled.  Now whether that also leads to silent moderation I couldn't say.  But now that moderation is secret, anything is possible.  

The bottom line: YOU DO NOT HAVE FREE SPEECH ON THIS WEBSITE.  Not even close.  My comments have been pulled many times - and for all I know, I'm on the moderation watch list as well.

Who knows with Seeking Alpha these days.  The woke crowd clearly sets the agenda now, and comment control here is really no better than Facebook.  They just yanked one of my comments because I respectfully suggested they needed to end the practice of agenda-based articles. Of course that will never happen because: 1) much of the time the aforementioned agenda aligns with the woke agenda 2) agenda-based articles generate the most clicks. 

Combine that with their inability to fix the "mute author" bug and you get this crap crammed down your throat whether you want it or not. 

Fortunately for me I've been on SA for a long time, and the good folks - the real investors - who used to frequent this site taught me how to invest long ago - so I don't really need the crap SA is peddling these days.

There used to be a way, but not sure it exists anymore.  In fact, in the past when they moderated you, they would actually send you an e-mail explaining why with an opportunity to resubmit your comment.  Those days are long gone; they just silently pull comments now with no explanation.  SA is not much interested in individual voices these days.

You can try clicking on the 'Factual Error' link at the bottom of an article and see if you can get someone's attention that way; but I think the odds are small of success.

Good luck.

same.

Muted authors still showing up in my article feed...

I just have to know: who on your development management team decided it was a good idea to migrate to a new code base (your single layout model that everyone hates) WITHOUT first making sure that all of the old features were also migrated and working properly? Rookie mistake.

I will explain one more time - but I'm pretty sure SA is deleting my comments now:

SA development is trying to use a SINGLE layout (i.e., SINGLE code base) for ALL their device platforms.  So same layout on your phone, laptop, desktop. Since the screen real-estate is so different between all the various devices - it will - and does - suck for all.  The only way they can "fix" your issues is to abandon the single-layout model - which they obviously won't do because it's a $$$ issue. I'm just hoping we'll see some competition in this space soon...

I posted this before - I'll post it again: the SA development is trying to use the exact same layout on ALL devices - phone, laptop, large monitors (purely a development cost issue).

They have turned your computer browser window into a phone screen - and vice-versa.

It sucks for all.

The SA development has finally committed the same sin that has plagued so many other companies trying to deliver content on multiple platforms and multiple size devices: 

The belief they can deliver a single application that seamlessly scales across all device sizes; from 6 inch phones to 13 inch laptops to 50 inch monitors.  

This idea ALWAYS results in a "lowest-common-denominator" application - one that functions, but doesn't function well, on ANY device size.  If I'm on a 6-inch phone, i.e., very limited screen real estate, the app should show me only the most essential things, and I'll need to work a bit to see more.  But as I move up the "screen real-estate curve", the best designed apps show the user more things SIMULTANEOUSLY - all in one place - so I don't have to work to see more.

Sadly, one-app-fits-all-sizes designs are the worst.  Check out the SA app on your mobile device; you might not like the layout but at least the screen real estate is reasonably used.  Now check out your portfolio page on their website from your favorite computer browser; same app, same layout, absolutely terrible use of screen real-estate.  You can either look at your stock metrics, or you can look at the article/news feed - but not both simultaneously. You are constantly scrolling back and forth to find things. In essence the app forces you to use your computer browser window like a phone screen.  

I suspect this will not be fixed because it is a development resource issue, but there are a number of best-practices for these issues on the internet.  I suggest your developers read them.

Multiple windows on "screen real estate limited" devices - i.e., laptops - will never work.  And I suspect almost all of your users that are using their computers as their primary device are on laptops.

Try a simple exercise: fire up your browser on your computer, navigate to SA, go to your portfolio view.  Then decrease the width of the window that is displaying your portfolio 50% or more - so that you could possibly display TWO windows side-by-side (as you suggest).  Watch what happens... the portfolio disappears because the layout constraints are wrong (yeah I used to do this for a living).

Somehow this crop of young app developers never got the memo that you NEVER take away features from your customers.
