It seems the pendulum is swinging back in the direction of paying for quality. The explosion of the internet and the effect it had on media destroyed so many of the traditional outlets that spent money on quality content. For instance, my local paper has turned from being reliable in reporting on local issues and having seasoned reporters, to being not much more than an entertainment company with young, inexperienced reporters who don't spend more than 10 minutes writing articles. Now we see outlets like NYT, New Yorker, and others, even bloggers (such as Andrew Sullivan), going to a paywall model and producing quality content that's worth paying for. Hopefully this is a trend more people realize that you get what you pay for.
