Google Will No Longer Allow Users to Skirt Paywalls Using Its Search Engine

This doesn't affect me. I don't use Google or sites that require a subscription to read. I think its easier for sites to make money from ads applicable to the topic and that don't affect user experience.

What say you ?

how will this affect those of us who don't wear a skirt?

Let them, their profits will tank. Without viewers and click impressions advertisers won't buy space, it's that simple.
