Popular curation is awful, you're right. But it remains unfortunate that old media still bundles their curation and authoring services. I'd like to see expert curation applied to the entirety of news articles.

NYT all-access is a little pricier; it'll cost you two cups of coffee a month. I'd understand the resistance if you were constantly having to authorize and approve these charges, but really you just sign up and forget about it. I use the subscriptions at least as much as I use Netflix. I am sort of kicking myself for not having set this up earlier.
- exhilaration 9y agoVery interesting, I wasn't aware of this option. Here's the WaPo link: https://www.amazon.com/The-Washington-Post-Digital-Access/dp/B072MHQFJ1 https://www.amazon.com/The-Washington-Post-Digital-Access/dp... Only $3.99/mo. I can't find the New York Times on Amazon, though. I pay $7.50/mo for a digital subscription directly to the Times. A pretty great deal, if you ask me. They run a sale every week or two.
- brucephillips 9y agoDid you mean to reply to someone else? You didn't address what I said. WaPo bundles authorship and curation, which is exactly the problem I'm describing. The problem isn't cost, it's incompleteness.
