    WTF? User since decades, contributor since 2012 and I can't access it w/o paying? Not happening. Won't miss much anyway.

    My access was blocked a couple weeks ago.
    I think they have a limit on the number of articles you're allowed to read in a 30 day period. That's the message I received about a year ago.
    This was the second time it happened to me.
    I was given access again before Oct started so apparently the 30 days doesn't start at the beginning of the month.
    Try again in a week or two.
    Or they block you out for a while trying to get you to sign up then allow you back on eventually if you don't pay for the service.
    I tried multiple times to read articles during my lockout period with no success but eventually I was back in.

    No free lunch in the markets and in life. Gotta pay to play.

    But you don't need them for trading anyways.

    Does Seeking Alpha provide you with consistent edges? If not, then why waste your time and money?

    Its for those who don't want to do the work needed to succeed.

    Mostly yeah. It's a platform where anyone can publish, so it's representative of the market as a whole. To make any use of SA you need to do a lot of work of identifying good authors. I might as well probe the wider Internet then.

    It's one of those online publications that you sign up for because the articles seem thorough, then realize they're nonsense, and it seems impossible to unsubscribe from.
    The authors with massive pedigrees in finance research wrote a fair amount about Tesla with bearish perspectives in 2019 and 2020... Lots of graphs validating their assertions that a crash was imminent right about the time when TSLA was on a tear. It was an absolute joke.
