But the thing, for news at least, is: I don't want to pre-pay 10 different news sites, that I may or may not use. That would work if it was like: I pre-load money into a service (i.e paypal). Then I use that account to unlock articles/donate to many different sites. Then, at the end of the month, paypal (or whatever the service is) makes 1 payment to all those sites, for all users combined. That way, instead of me transferring 1 cent, twice, to New York Times, Paypal could do 1 large transfer of all contributions.
