I was considering it at the time, my idea was to offer a subscription that would redistribute revenue to publishers in exchange for skipping the paywall. This was all a hypothetical plan for a class, of course, and other attempts at bundling news subscriptions have failed. Most existing news aggregators just show a headline and standfirst, and that seems to work. Another concern was reinforcing bias. You'd need to show people articles about things they care about, but at the same time, you don't want to put people in bubbles. It's a pretty tough balance to strike.
