Get the New York Times? No seriously, there are long form publications that provide what you want with the model you want. I like Gizmodo. They do some interesting pieces once in a while. But I don't see myself paying $5/month for it. I am not a fan of advertising as a model for the web. It sucks in terms of UX, and it sucks in terms of motivations for the content providers. This is how we get WikiHow and W3School, and Wikipedia clones. Problem is that it's a model that's simply more profitable than anything else we've tried so far. And you can shame people into paying or try to coax them all you want, but it just won't make as much money.
