I am curious as weren't you (bearswithclaws) advertising to advertisers of the huge reader base, which included free pdf readers, in order to get people to advertise with you.

I for one would be pretty upset if I found out I paid good money for an advertisement and the reader base dropped off insanely because of the new paid model.

It's a good point. That and the job board seemed pretty lucrative. But I doubt it compares to just having everyone subscribe.
