Not all sources are equal in terms of quality and information provided in the linked to article.

IMO, in certain areas (financial industry, investigative journalism, international business issues, etc.) WSJ consistently has better coverage than most other sources - so I'm willing to pay for it now that they've made it much harder for me to get to it.

I regularly read other sources, and if at some point I feel I'm not getting enough value from WSJ, I'll cancel.
