For the next ~24 hours the Financial Times has dropped its paywall.
A great opportunity for Wikimedians needing to check sources (or submit them to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine)!
I'm curious, why did they do this?

For the same reason most of the do? To try and get a few more people to see if it's actually worth paying. I prefer the model where we get access to one or two articles a week free, but even this has been a while since I actually used it.
I'm not sure - someone else might know - but interestingly I just heard their chief economist talking on Radio 4 about how capitalism isn't working and needs a reset...
