Off-topic: would you pay for it?
- Operyl 7y agoIf I’m honest? Probably not. I made use of my free articles when that feature worked, and rarely hit the limit. I pay for 7 different subscriptions at other outlets that I read more often, such as The Guardian, a few more technical (like LWN), and local papers.
- badfrog 7y agoI'd gladly pay a monthly fee that gave me access to like the top 5 newspapers, but I'm not interested in maintaining all the subscriptions separately.
- mrsuprawsm 7y agoThere is a service called "Blendle" that does something similar, but on a model where you pay per article.
- himlion 7y agoThey recently stopped this pay per article model in favor of a subscription model for unlimited access.
- neltnerb 7y agoThe problem is that if you log in, they're tracking what you read and presumably monetizing that. I pay for the Washington Post, but I still read it in private mode or without logging in at least. They don't need to know what I'm reading, though I'm happy to support them.
