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.

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...

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