I disagree that news should be free, but the present situation is crazy. I'd pay a healthy (~$50?) amount of money per month if there was something that just worked in my browser and paid serious news orgs some percentage of my money without me having to download some stupid news app.
I've signed up for various online news sources before, but the experience still sucks because only 0.5% of the news links on places like HN were covered by the subscription.
