Kevin Williamson joined The Dispatch as of today. In his opening piece, he had this to say:
Rage drives clicks. Quality drives subscriptions. And our business model is based on subscriptions, not clicks.
And that is why I am here.
"You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from."

See, there's the fundamental problem with paywalls, though. You read the National Review on a regular basis before. While you are generally center-left, you did read these articles to balance out your world view. The subscription model ultimately leads to even larger echo chambers...
Stere still needs to be anther solution.

Well, I subscribe to The Dispatch since it’s founding and it’s center right. That’s probably the main reason I don’t think to sign up for NR.

But I agree with your point. Most people resist reading well-argued viewpoints contrary to their own even when it’s free. Very few are willing to pay for it.

That's why it makes sense to have a "90% paywall" policy: You make some articles free.
