Dear VIPs,
As always, thank you for supporting Article Club. I appreciate your paid membership. (Shout-out to Jen, who signed up this week!)
Today I have an audio letter for you. It’s about a newish feature: Public Links. Thanks to your financial support, readers will no longer face paywalls when reading articles from the newsletter.
I’m excited about this new feature, for accessibility’s sake, especially because more publications are (rightfully) restricting access. But I also have some ethical misgivings, which you’ll hear about if you take a listen.
Thank you for listening — and I’d love to hear what you think, too.
✏️ Are public links a good idea? Or not so much?
Hope you have a great week ahead, and happy reading,
Mark
PS - Want to listen to these audio letters (and all other AC-related audio) on your phone? Under the player above, where it says, “Listen on,” click on “Apple Podcasts” or “Email mobile setup link.” This way, you’ll receive the private, subscriber-only RSS feed. Voila!
