- dmortin 8y agoI'd pay some tiny amount for a single article, but I don't want a full subscription if I don't read the Economist otherwise. Also, I don't want dozens of subscriptions for different sites. I'd like a system when some tiny amount would be deducted automatically from my account every time I read an article on different sites.

- stephengillie 8y agoThis sounds like the same situation as the music industry, bundling in an album 12 songs you don't want, along with the 2 you do want. Or newspapers, where you pay for the 4 sections you won't read, along with the 2 you do read. Or streaming services, paying for the thousands of shows you won't watch, along with the dozen you do watch.
