@michaeltwofish you'd be surprised
@michaeltwofish part of me feels I should at least get access to iview and ancnews24 in that it's tax-funded. bastards.
@michaeltwofish I found out that I'm being fucked because I'm international. domestic limits (coming mid year) are more generous
@miscdebris I found out it's only for users abroad for now. domestic users will have > 10 articles. see http://t.co/hdNP5SF96b
@sylmobile n-1, where n is the number of articles you want
@sylmobile "The meter will be set at 10 articles for [..] overseas computer[s]. The number [..] will be set higher in domestic markets"
@sylmobile ahh, there we go. that's kind of annoying. domestic customers get > 10 articles at least..
@sylmobile maybe they detect adblocking and force subscriptions or similar? that'd be clever. and pesky.
@sylmobile same thing :( http://t.co/U7Ap4spQvH
@sylmobile interesting. let me check in another browser/profile. might be A/B tested?
@sylmobile yip. firefox, osx
@sylmobile after ~5 articles, I got a "hey you only get 10" popup, then at 10 I got blocked. geoblocking? I'm in Europe..
@sylmobile and the page with more details is here: https://t.co/ke3X1rrXiS
@sylmobile I suppose with the relaunch? I get a page like: http://t.co/McRAnneGT3
$15/mo for @theage, and that doesn't include tablet access? well then.
hrm, I guess that was the last article I'll read on @theage. apparently it was my 10th and thus I need to subscribe? ah well.
@everyonebutsix in nl again, yup! Utrecht though, not Amsterdam :) I hesitate to call 8° warm, but here we are
@everyonebutsix ha! today is the first day in weeks I haven't felt frozen outside
@cfsmtbation when they're not being cocks, yeah
@teacuptempest I still think "do unto others.." applies beyond any (reverse) *ism. don't exclude/oppress/hassle. easy 'nuff.
@miscdebris yesssss, I had to download it illegally though, because ABC still hates me for being abroad
@teacuptempest "Bicheno is bitchin' yo"
@szsz that kinda sounds great. sign me up!
