I happily pay for digital + Sunday delivery of my city's daily newspaper. The issue is that I'm not going to do likewise for the daily in 20 other cities. I would of course pay for a single issue of another city's daily, from time to time, just as 20 years ago I might have picked up a San Francisco Chronicle at the newstand if I happened to be in San Francisco. But they have no interest in offering that and I have no interest in maintaining a subscription to another city's daily. I'm really fairly certain I would have purchased many, many, many editions of, say, the San Francisco Chronicle over the years, were that on offer. But it isn't. So after years of seeing the San Francisco Chronicle's popups telling me that the only way to read one of their articles is to subscribe, the San Francisco Chronicle has in fact received $0 from me.
