Seriously, who is this shit even for? A thousand miles of red tape to keep people off your site without paying and all you've really done is alienate your paid readership.

That figure comes via the Alliance for Audited Media, and it reveals that The Washington Post’s average paid daily circulation has dropped below 100,000 for the first time in 55 years. To put that in perspective: 97,000 is the sort of figure you’d expect to see from a mid-size regional paper like The Minnesota Star Tribune or The Seattle Times. Not from a globally recognized newsroom with multiple Pulitzers to its name.

I'll repost the important part because Forbes is, once again, blowing up my screen with random bullshit that's evaded my popup blocker.
