A "one price for all" paywall is a great idea! Functionally it's like Netflix for news. And just like with Netflix, some companies will think they're too good

A "one price for all" paywall is a great idea!
Functionally it's like Netflix for news. And just like with Netflix, some companies will think they're too good to be lumped in with the rest, so we get CBS All Access and (next year) Disney streaming, and so on, but all the non-NYTimes, non-WSJ papers for one price might be nice.
Except, well, I think a lot of that content is either hyper-local or general wire service fluff, or rewritten press release fluff. If you don't count the prime sources that wouldn't participate in such a scheme anyway, I'm not sure what's left is actually worth much.
I'd love to be wrong.
