It seems to me that advertisers might prefer a small number of people willing to pay money for something, rather than an avalanche of free loaders. Not all eyeballs are created equally. Isn't this a motivation for improving the targeting of advertising?

Most Wired content is available for free on the website, right? So, I wonder how many more people would buy the app if it were free.
