"Slashdot's going subscription! The new Slashdot will feature humungous, annoying advertisements ("We really don't have an option: these are what advertisers want, and if we don't provide them, we won't be around much longer."), but you don't have to look at 'em. For every $5 you feed to your /. subscription, you'll get 1,000 ad-free pageviews. I wonder if a $5 PPM is competitive with what they expect advertisers to pay 'em." from Boing Boing
