So I have to make 50 accounts for every news service and hand out my credit card for yearly subscriptions everytime I want to read an article? Do you know what a PITA it is to keep track of and cancel those subscriptions? Half the articles are clickbait, opinion pieces, or have a strong political agenda with painful lack of objectivity. The assumption then is I'm going to pay upfront based on a headline? No way not in 2021. The news services need to get together and back one single payment processor, and accept payment on articles that are actually read, and there needs to be a one click option at the end of every article to cancel payment to prevent them taking advantage. And they are taking advantage and clearly have no respect for their readers looking at current tactics.
