Yes. And as I wrote above I don't expect anyone to get rich from it if done according to how I thought it would work.
As for avoiding click bait, what blendle did was to offer refunds. I think they later reversed that policy, and I think that was the point I gave them up (also Linux magazines and other stuff I wanted to read never showed up).
Still, for someone wanting to be running a decent company, not a unicorn factory I think there is a niche:
I actively read very much, even from journalists I deeply disagree with, and I'd rather spend $2 extra a day on good writing than coffe (for instance).
