On this topic, I have nothing against paying for content, I pay for NYT and lots of other (video) content services. $40 a month seems like a bit much, no? Worth it? Comparitively, other similar services seem to be in the $10 range?

  FWIW, wsj is $10 per month if you enroll through google pay. Plus, they have 6 months free to start with currently.

  This is the Blendle link: https://blendle.com/i/wsj-com/waymo-ceo-says-alphabet-unit-plans-to-launch-driverless-car-service-in-coming-months/bnl-wsj-20181113-SB12405722030152263707504584592362094372076?sharer=eyJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoiMSIsInVpZCI6ImNodWNrbWNtYW5pcyIsIml0ZW1faWQiOiJibmwtd3NqLTIwMTgxMTEzLVNCMTI0MDU3MjIwMzAxNTIyNjM3MDc1MDQ1ODQ1OTIzNjIwOTQzNzIwNzYifQ%3D%3D https://blendle.com/i/wsj-com/waymo-ceo-says-alphabet-unit-p... In that link they charged me $0.49 to read the article. I measured the monthly cost of my subscriptions to various publications, and then cancelled those accounts and setup a Blendle account with a self imposed limit of that monthly amount. What I found was that I typically spend half to at most three quarters of what I had been spending and I only read the articles I care about. And when I'm doing something that interferes with my available reading time, I spend practically nothing at all.
