I'm a subscriber (the best $30 I've spent on sports in a while).
But I don't plan on swiping content from them, if only because swiping cuts into their business model. I really like the writing on the app and while it's cliche to 'support a brand', I would like the model to succeed, if only because companies like The Athletic can continue to focus on journalism.
I posted a link once but I was also concerned that posting the article might get the Boards flagged by The Athletic. I don't know if their content is protected against public sharing.
