We're switching to Free + Ad-Supported

<i>This is a perfectly cromulent business model</i><p>This gave away the April Fool gag right in the second paragraph, but still had me laughing. Good work.

Since everyone on HN uses an Ad Blocker anyway, I'd recommend the Free + Spyware business model instead.

Hilarious. I can't wait to see content relevant to my interests in my PD alerts.

Finally a bold move that proves we aren't in a bubble.

Unfortunately I missed the fact it was an April fools gag, as I tend to stop reading anything when I see the phrase "next Facebook or Google"...

Great. Now all I will have to do is to put the phone down for 30 seconds.
