A paywall is a method of restricting access to content, with a purchase or a paid subscription, especially news. Beginning in the mid-2010s, newspapers started implementing paywalls on their websites as a way to increase revenue after years of decline in paid print readership and advertising revenue, partly due to the use of ad blockers. In academics, research papers are often subject to a paywall and are available via academic libraries that subscribe.
"Philosophy 03 paywall" by French artist David Revoy, featuring the character Carrot and various paywalls. A paywall may restrict non-paying users either from any content, from a set limit of content, or from select content. The second wall from the left does not require the user to pay, but rather requires the user to subscribe (or register) for full access to content.
