Dilbert has a hilarious commentary on the practice of putting up paywalls. Not to spoil the punchline (click through for it), but apparently Scott Adams is aware of the fundamental failing of paywalls: while seeming like a good idea at the time, they will cost money to implement as well as dramatically decrease site traffic, and it’s not always a sure thing that the subscription fees will make up the difference.

I have a really hard time enjoying Dilbert ever since Scott Adams announced on his blog that women aren’t funny and white men are a disadvantaged class.
