I guess that's the end of my reading the CHE.  If I'm paying for actual journalism, then the CHE doesn't make the top 10.

I pretty much only read when I'm in my office and my campus subscription kicks in.

Actually reading posts before responding to them seems to be a problem for a number of people on here...

I no longer have a campus subscription, although our library does get a paper edition (not useful during covid).

I even have a registered account, but I had been reading for months by clicking from Twitter.

Months ago, I got a notice regarding hacked accounts at CHE so I logged out on every device.

This is a hobby now.  If I'm paying, then I'm sending money to other outlets.

For a while there, some articles were free if accessed via their FB feed. I guess that's done now too?

It's been fun to read them on occasion, but it's certainly not something I care about enough to support financially either. At least, it's much lower down my list, like polly said.
I know it's a genus.

I had a registered account but forgot the password. I wasn't too happy seeing I had one free remaining article left after I read one in the "Advice" section. Ugh, not interested in a paid subscription either.
