You can get our best article every week by subscribing to our sneak peek email - https://thecorrespondent.com/sneak-peek. Of course, we'll keep suggesting you join as a member and given it's a pay-what-you-want payment model it's not a huge ask. You can also follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/The_Corres and see everything we post there for free (which is, everything). What you do get as a paying member rather than just a viewer, is access to the conversations we have under the article which are sometimes really worth if. Under this article, for example, the journalist Jesse was joined by Garrett Johnson who was interviewed for the article and is a former Yahoo! economist and members got a chance to ask him questions based on the article and his experience at Yahoo!.
Why? To read the damn article. How's that for a reason? They give you enough intro to determine whether you are interested, are they not?
And besides that point above, it took me literally one click to get to the full article. How awesome is that? Right? And if you like the content, subscribe and stop freeloading.
How can I be freeloading off of them given that I've never read a single article on their site or even heard of it other than OP's link and your effusive exhortation that I must immediately and uncritically send them my money.
