I was trying out different configurations of publishing options and seeing how they appear in different clients, so I can be prepared to advise on how best to utilize the pyramid paywall feature.
There's still a bunch of popular clients that completely disregard the protected tag. We can buck the system by not putting the relay in our write lists. That leaves authors directing readers to a few particular clients to see their premium content, but it's the best I can figure out for now.
Fortunately and unfortunately, most of the clients that disregard the tag are also the ones that don't have any support for individual relay viewing & posting.
