Just a quick shoutout to Blendle (https://blendle.com/ https://blendle.com/). They're basically a wallet for top quality publications, which you pay on an article basis instead of paying a subscription (from your list, The Economist is there)
Articles cost around 0.2$ to 0.5$ each, which is pretty fair for medium-long pieces (they provide a time estimate for each article before you pay).
- Fnoord 9y agoBlendle also has a feature where you can ask for a refund if you disliked the article. That works either right away, or for 24 hours after you bought it according to [1] (links to Der Spiegel in German). As for the cost. According to Wikipedia: "The prices are determined by the publishers and range between €0.09 (snippets) and €1.99 (feature stories) and are often around €0.25,[9] 30% of which is paid to Blendle.[4][10] Users can top up their accounts manually or set up an automatic top-up." There's also an "all you can read" feature called Premium. Costs 10 EUR/month. These are NL prices (I get geolocked I guess) so I don't know the German or US prices. They're only catering to NL, DE, and since 2016, US. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blendle#Service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blendle#Service
