For some things I prefer the subscription model because of the incentives it creates, every article I read or day that I go to a gym lowers the overall cost-per-visit. With a per-article or per-visit model, I would be disincentivized to read and go to the gym. It also frees me from repeatedly making the same decision every day, do I value $1 more the content of this article? Do I value $10 more than going to the gym right now? For me the nice thing about blendle is cheap access to several sources, if they have a prepaid plan that charges monthly at $10 for 60 articles (16c/article), I would do that. I think it depends a lot on if you experience journalism as more similar to a gym (exercise for your brain) or netflix/hulu (entertainment).
