More likely the author wants to be paid for his work. If he wanted to offer it for free there are plenty of alternative platforms to publish on.

I saw no requests for payment, i only saw a headline without a story. I have no patience to assume why a web site is broken.

It was published in the Boston Globe, a commercial organisation. I think it's a reasonable conclusion that the author gets paid for their work. He has been at the paper at least since 1979 according to the article.

It's not reasonable to conclude that going out of my way to pay money will make a page suddenly populate with a story. If there's no offer for more content, I don't assume it's there.
