"It's called subscribing to your local newspaper"
This won't support, or get you access to, the overwhelming majority of articles, though. It's as if each musician required their own, independent monthly subscription.
"The NY Times costs something like 33 cents a day, for example."
Newspapers can, and will, quietly double their prices without telling you and then make it very hard for you to cancel. See my article on the Boston Globe, for example: https://rationalconspiracy.com/2016/04/24/dark-patterns-by-the-boston-globe/ https://rationalconspiracy.com/2016/04/24/dark-patterns-by-t....

Sounds like "Spotify, but for news" is what you're looking for. I see your point. > Newspapers can, and will, quietly double their prices without telling you And that's just plain old bad customer service.
- dilemma 9y agoIf there was a way to get access to all articles published that would create an even larger demand, and subjective value of, single-publisher subscriptions like the NYT. People, including you and me, don't want to have access to everything, they want choice access to the "best", chosen by a reputable entity.
