There is a publication in India (The Ken) that allows you to buy a single article. But the cost of a single article is so high, it's not really worth it. It's 1/6th of the price of their annual subscription. The idea is to discourage single article buys and push a customer towards an annual subscription because it's a much better value. Classic pricing technique. Of course they are a business and they have to maximize the revenue. If people could buy single articles for pennies, no-one would buy the expensive monthly/annual subscriptions except the diehard fans.
