The price needs to be at or below $0.09 for people to just unlock the news and read on, no thinking.
An online newspapers might make $3 per thousand views, plastering ads everywhere and maybe videos. That means they survive with way less than 1 penny per view. They have no excuse to try to charge orders of magnitude more.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoNot all online news sites are the same. The New York Times does real journalism, which takes real resources. I'm not convinced that they can be sustained on advertising dollars. > They have no excuse to try to charge orders of magnitude more. But that's just what you proposed. $0.09 is over an order of magnitude greater than $0.003. That pricepoint would still be fine - far less than the price of a coffee.
