I dream of the day that I can pay 0.25 to read just one WSJ or NYT or WP article that I found interesting. I think they don't want to do this though. Not because it is not possible.. but because they prefer that I get the whole darn thing AND consume the ads (or at least that's what they tell their advertisers). They prefer me to get that $10-30-50 monthly and not use it (as I will only be actually reading 3-4 articles per month).
