"So if paywalls are the wrong move at the wrong time, what's the right move?"

Offering a product with wider appeal. Perhaps by representing a greater number of voices. Perhaps by becoming an advocate of the new Hamilton rather than the tired mouth piece of an industrial era in decline. Perhaps by listening to those younger readers they covet rather than condescendingly lecturing to them.

The Spec, for example, berated Line9 protesters for not following the process--a process that was essentially gutted by the infamous omnibus bill. Why would any young reader who cares deeply about these issues, as they should, give a dime to The Spec to be lectured on matters to which The Spec is so utterly out of touch?

Please.
