    At heart, my argument for full RSS feeds is similar to my argument against a NYT paywall, and neither argument has anything to do with a sense of entitlement on my part.

    \x0a\x0a

    Instead, both are simply bad business decisions.

    \x0a\x0a

    If you truncate your RSS feeds, you’ll get less traffic than you had with full feeds, and you’ll alienate an important minority of your audience. And if you implement a paywall, the increase in subscription revenues will fail to offset the decrease in ad revenues, even as you’ll alienate lots of your audience. So neither makes commercial sense.

    Smart. The easier it is for an IRL business to track conversions the easier it is for them to commit to internet-based promotions.

    \x0a Ad blocking software works because there are telltale technical cues that a site isn’t paying the same level of attention to ad content as they are to editorial content (whereas print magazines pay more attention to ad content–that’s how they work).\x0a

    So Next Wednesday starting at 5pm, at Winkleman Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, we will, together, create a 24 hour group intervention. Your presence is humbly requested at any point, for any length of time. At 5pm, Thursday March 11th, we will pop every skinny balloon that we have blown up during our time together.
