SeekingAlpha: You just drove me to TalkMarkets.com

Now, I just have to figure out a way to still follow the SA author that I am paying.  As soon as I figure a way to do that, I can delete your ap !!!!

I'd love to be in Seeking Alpha's Board Room this morning as they talk about the website.  I bet the conversation goes something like this:

Number of Ads viewed:   Down 95%

Number of Articles viewed:  Down 98%

Number of posts by people who we think screwed up:  10,000

Number of posts by people who will gladly pay $20 a month:  0

Number of people who are happy with the way this was announced:0

Percent of people who will not pay $20 a month: 98%

Percent of authors who are mad at us because people can no longer read our free articles: 90%

Percent of people who would pay from $1.99 - $4.99 a month:  Unknown because we didn't survey our membership, but from the posts, it seems that most people would pay this amount

and so on.....   Let's hope that these post wake them up.

Seeking Alpha Admins,

I can't begin to express my extreme disappointment with you. No only were we not informed about the recent paywall changes, but your own press release doesn't even say how many free articles we can read each month or how much a subscription costs.

After reading posts here that say that you want $20 a month, I'm deleting the App from my iPhone. It's not worth anywhere near that price.

Let's see, a year of Amazon Prime is $120: Millions of movies and shows, plus free shipping (and more) - that's worth it. Discovery+ just announced their streaming service: 55,000 shows for $4.99 a month. And you think that you can charge $20 a month - Forget it.

Everyone should Google "seeking alpha alternative"

It's too bad. There are a few good writers on SA and I've subscribed to their services. Now, new authors will never even have the chance to reach me because I can't read their free articles. So those authors will lose out, plus, you'll lose the advertising revenue that you receive from the ads that you placed in the articles. No articles, no ad revenue, no chance to discover new authors.........

Way to go SA. What a way to kill a business. How much would I pay? (You didn't even bother asking me to take a survey, but here's what I think)....   For $1.99 a month I'd sign up without thinking about it. For $4.99 I might sign up. For anything more than that, your App gets deleted.

Goodbye SA
