I love the original idea of Blendle, low price articles, no payment if you leave within a few seconds.
Haven't used it recently since they hadn't too many of the articles I wanted && I have a sneaking suspicion that refunds aren't as easy anymore.
- Doubl 8y agoI tried it and didn't like the model. Paying per article is just crazy, it makes you feel like you have to watch what you're spending all the time. I'd rather a fixed amount that leads me read as much or as little as I choose
- eitland 8y agoIs it somehow worse than browsing a bookshelf in a bookstore or the magazines in a kiosk?
- Doubl 8y agoI don't understand the point you're making. If I was to read the same number of articles in blendle in a month, that I read for my fiver subscription, it would cost a lot more. The model doesn't work for me.
- givehimagun 8y agoNo it's not worse. I think the author you replied to was stating that it's nicer to pay a flat fee and get unlimited viewing (itunes, google play, spotify, netflix, etc). Can we have that for journalism?
- Baeocystin 8y agoI do use Blendle, but my spend has dropped from ~$5/mo when I first signed up to barely a dollar, if that. They really need to get a wider variety of editors to cover topics beyond what would be popular op-eds on the Huff Post.
