I love the concept. I hope the execution will be right. e.g. if I pay for Economist story, I won't be bombarded with their popups.

  We don't like popups and ads either, so you most certainly won't find them on our website. You only pay for what you want, and can always refund with a single click. We have a good privacy policy, here's the (loosely translated, this is not the official translation) first paragraph: Blendle takes your privacy very seriously and will store and use your information in a safe and secure way. Publishers have a tendency to demand that we give them the email addresses of everyone who reads their articles, but we refuse to give in to these requests. Also, we don't do ads, so we have no incentive to collect data to sell you relevant ads.

  I think it will kill magazines and certain media. Where you used to pay more for what you wanted, that did cover the cost of that particular media, your interest plus more. If people now only want to and will pay for what they are interested in, part of the magazine will no longer be able to cover its costs. It'll all shrink, in volume, quality etc
