News sites have way too much invasive advertising on them, but AI is a scam. Pay for your news.

  But how? I usually have never heard of some publication and literally want to read one article and never visit the site again. I don’t want to whip out my credit card, fill out a form, have a subscription on the books that I have to cancel, just so I can read that one article. I want the web equivalent of an ezPass transponder.

    Apple News+ is one way. Another is what 404media does. You pay $10 a month for no ads and extra stuff. But yes, I know what you want and sadly there’s nobody doing it yet.

        Yeah, Ted Nelson even talked about it. It requires a level of cooperation that we may see eventually. What is an article worth to read?
