Why can I not pay a reasonable amount of money to get past advertisments? Usually I do not need the subscription for 300$ a year but I want to read one article

Why can I not pay a reasonable amount of money to get past advertisments? Usually I do not need the subscription for 300$ a year but I want to read one article in a adfree way and pay for the advertisments they are losing. Unlike in apps, I haven't seen a website where I can give them money for no-ads. So for me their business model is broken.
- grzm 10y agoI'm curious as to the actual breakdown, but I know that most subscription-based journalism still receives the majority of its revenue from ads. I suspect that ad-free experiences would be prohibitively expensive for most if not all subscribers. This is largely speculation though. Anyone in the industry have some harder numbers? One example I know of that I believe is ad-free is theinformation.com which has a yearly subscription of $399. https://www.theinformation.com/payment-policy https://www.theinformation.com/payment-policy Running an institution like the NYT or the WSJ must be much more expensive.
