I understand what you are saying and am grateful I can afford the monthly cost. The cost I pay is worth the value I receive.

- xnyan 6y agoI agree and I also subscribe to what I can. The only problem for us is, like others are saying, I don’t think our subscriptions are enough money and I don’t think it’s feasible financially for enough people to do so at the level needed to keep enough quality newspapers and journalists in business. (in the us) The New York Times is arguably the only non-business paper that makes enough money from subscriptions to make sense sticking it out alone. Maybe the Washington Post, LA Times and a few others (and maybe not, i hear the subscription rates are horrible) too, but for the vast majority bundling digital subscription as a single package is the only way I see for small papers to attract significant numbers of subscribers. It would be really great to read papers from Las Vegas and Cincinnati, but I can’t see myself ever setting up and managing individual subscriptions to them if I am being honest.
