Wiktionary · Wikipediapaywall/ˈpeɪ.wɔːl/
- nounA feature of a website, application or service that only allows access to certain content or functions upon payment.
- verbTo restrict access to (a Web site or other resource) by means of a paywall.
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.
