> why can't news sites just charge you $0.01 THIS! And having seen the standard of journalism and the amount of ads they fill the content with, I'm rarely, if ever going to waste $5 a month for a subscription. Often, I see an interesting article which hides behind a paywall, and I'd pay to read it, if a micropayment system was in operation.
