This is similar to asking why there isn't a SaaS subscription service aggregating all of the SaaS products that lets you pay $1 to use any SaaS product for a day. It's not really sustainable to run a business by having people pay you smaller amounts and more sporadically. Microtransactions in that way don't generate enough revenue to pay for the up-front work required to create a story like the oxycontin one mentioned in a separate thread here. A story like that costs thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of work to create. It's not feasible to spend all that up-front work all for the possibility someone will maybe pay $1 to read it. How about this. If you read, say, 10 articles in a month from a publication, go ahead and purchase a subscription. Financially, it should cost you the same as your proposed microtransaction scheme, but it is much more sustainable for the business you're supporting.
