When I first subscribed to newspapers.com years ago, it seemed like I got a lot of information. The newpapers were easyu to search and save the stuff to ancestry. I first noticed about a year ago, everything now requires the "publishers upgrade" to see anything. Disappointing. I'm already paying $199 a yar 9soon to be $229) for ancestry and $30 dollars every six months for newspapers, but anything i want to view has to be upgraded for another $60 every six months? Rip-off. The basic gets you pretty much nothing, but maybe a headline. I've read that the so called copyright on anything after 1922 or 1930 or something led to this "upgrade." If tha is the case how come a death in 1910, or one in 1887 also requires the "upgrade?" I'm sick and tired of being nickeled and dimed. You get excited to find some new nugget or valuable item about a hard to research ancester only to be told. To see this content upgrade! Give us more! Upgrade! And I'm sure when we upgrade to the publishers, in a short time they'll have the "publishers extra for an additional $xxx. Just wait. Nope I'm done cancelling my subscription when it currently expires. Done playing these games.
