What's the limit? This is the third economist article I've loaded in over a month and it's already paywalled.
Edit: I suppose the simple answer is "3 articles", but that just seems like a rather low limit to me, hence my question. I'm wondering if maybe their detection is simply bad (e.g. maybe my browser reloaded an article and it counts that as an additional read?)
I think the latest limit is 2 articles per week, it used to be higher, the change has been introduced recently, I remember seeing a pop-up announcing it.
Posts are made by users, not the news source itself, and your proposed limit is based on the assumption that most users read each and every article submission that is made to HN, which doesn't seem likely at all.
