They want us to commit to a subscription, using a credit card, in US currency. That is significantly different from the newspaper model, because it requires some trust on my part, and it is quite awkward; my CC sits in a firesafe when I am not traveling. Subscriptions also encourage FOMO behavior, something I am currently having a bit of trouble with, personally.

I too would prefer that we do not allow subscription content here. If the story is significant, then it will be covered elsewhere.
