Pitchfork gates reviews behind paywall and adds reader scores

Pitchfork introduces a new subscription model that allows readers to score albums, comment on reviews, and access the full review archive. The $5 monthly subscription enables readers to engage in music criticism and discourse on the site, while the comments section will be moderated by editors. Non-subscribers can still access the News, Features, and Columns sections for free, but will need to subscribe for unlimited reviews and reader scores.
