Ezra’s right when he notes that the NY Times’ decision to hide their columnists behind a $50 annual subscription is a bad one.
As regular Shakers might have noticed, I’m not big on reading columnists, anyway, and it’s mainly because they’re usually writing about shit at least a week after I have and being far less interesting about it (read: no snark or cussin’!). If that sounds narcissistic, well, perhaps it is, but it’s also the reality of why I don’t bother reading most columnists, even when it’s free, and I’m sure as hell not going to pay a dime to do it.
