r/Canada Speaks A Paywall Experiment In /r/Canada
Over time, we have seen a rise in paywalled articles, which are a great frustration for many of our viewers. They often do not promote informed and meaningful discussions, because people are unable to react to more than the headline.
As an experiment, /r/Canada is going to be temporarily prohibiting the posting of paywalled articles. This experiment will run for one month, at which point the userbase will be asked for their views on whether this was a positive change that should continue or whether it was a negative change that should be reverted. We will then make a decision considering those views, along with metrics and other factors, on whether to continue this change as a standing rule or to revert it.
Posting to paywall bypass sites will not be an acceptable workaround, and such posts will also be removed.
We are also allowing a two week period in advance to allow for comments before we proceed.
The dates for this experiment are from June 24th to July 24th.
Au fil du temps, nous avons constaté une augmentation du nombre d’articles payants, ce qui est une grande source de frustration pour bon nombre de nos lecteurs. Ces articles ne favorisent souvent pas les discussions éclairées et constructives, car les gens ne peuvent réagir qu’au titre.
À titre expérimental, /r/Canada va temporairement interdire la publication d’articles payants. Cette expérience durera un mois, après quoi nous demanderons aux utilisateurs s’ils considèrent qu’il s’agit d’un changement positif qui devrait être maintenu ou d’un changement négatif qui devrait être annulé. Nous prendrons ensuite une décision, en tenant compte de ces avis ainsi que des indicateurs et d’autres facteurs, quant à savoir s’il faut maintenir ce changement comme règle permanente ou l’annuler.
La publication de liens vers des sites permettant de contourner le paywall ne sera pas considérée comme une solution acceptable, et ces publications seront également supprimées.
Nous accordons également une période de deux semaines à l'avance pour permettre aux utilisateurs de faire part de leurs commentaires avant de mettre cette mesure en œuvre.
Cette expérience se déroulera du 24 juin au 24 juillet.

Discussion From a friend in America re the Ontario wildfires
I hope you all are staying safe and that you get some rain soon to put out these fires in Ontario. I’m in NY and it’s like standing next to a campfire when the wind shifts and blows it in your face so I can’t imagine how bad it must be for you. I got rid of my TV when Trump got a second term so I didn’t know til yesterday what was happening there. I hope we are providing help with fire suppression but I wouldn’t be surprised if these “people” in our govt. blocked aid. Anyway we are thinking of you, our good neighbors.
