That’s a neat idea. Could be a YC startup idea. A subscription service that gives you access to all the paywall content let’s say 10/month for 50 articles and you don’t even click a button just read. Rather than seperate paywalls, ads etc.
- Wehrdo 8y agoAre you describing Blendle[0]? Access to paywalled content on a pay-per-article basis. [0] https://launch.blendle.com/ https://launch.blendle.com/
- quickthrower2 8y agoI didn't know about them, but looks like they are doing exactly this.
- m52go 8y agoI remember getting on their beta list 3 years ago. Seems like they're still in beta...that cannot be a good sign. From what I remember, they're a closed platform. One must use their apps to get access to full article content. That's a nice solution for their partners, but not for the broader web (85%+ of the websites you stumble across that are not TIME, NYT, Economist, etc). Blendle is a nice experiment, but I wouldn't consider it a solution to the problem being discussed here.
