News publications also still think they're competing with each other. Like, it seems like each newspaper assumes you're going to subscribe to them and then go there every morning like it's the 1990's and get 100% of your news from them, and charge accordingly.
If I'm going to pay for news it's going to have to be an all-you-can-eat deal like the music streaming services. I'll pay if it means that like 70% of the news links I click from Google News, social media or reddit are covered.
- fastball 5y agoIsn't Apple News doing something like that? And Twitter also has Twitter Blue, where they've done a deal with a bunch of sites so that if you click a link while on Twitter (and are subbed to Twitter Blue) you will have an ad-free experience while browsing the external site.
- kalleboo 5y agoYeah Apple News is a good step forward, but it's region-locked and not available where I live. I didn't know what about Twitter Blue, but the fact that you have to go through Twitter seems rather limiting. At least it seems like some people have identified the market, hopefully it develops from here.
