"I hope they go the Double Recall route. I'd rather type in two words once a day and have an advertiser pay for my content than pull out my credit card to hop over a paywall."

Well, that depends on the price of the paywall, the quality of the content and how much you value your time, right?

Well, what people value more depends on each individual. Some people have more time than money, so DoubleRecall is perfect for them, while others have money and no time.

What DoubleRecall does, is give a chance to everyone to view the article. If you take a look at a DoubleRecall client Finance, where people can still choose to pay monthly fees to get the content without DoubleRecall. Other people, like myself, can now still view the premium content without having to pay anything. I may still later decide to but a subscription and have uninterrupted access, but I probably wont, when someone else might.
