Those little blue padlocks are gone for good. Starting this week, newyorker.com will release all its content to the public, free of charge, until summer’s end. Unfortunately for subscription commitment-phobes, the site will then transition to a metered paywall system (think New York Times) come fall.
The obvious solution is to read everything the New Yorker has ever published while you still can (or to, you know, subscribe).

How are writers supposed to be paid if all writing is free online? Online advertising doesn’t cover the costs of quality publishing. Writers, editors, artists–we deserve payment for our work.
