Interesting that comment about atomicity of consumption. A similar thing happened to the music industry, who relied for so long on the ability to shift a lacklustre album on the back of a popular single. There were loud complaints from up high when consumers got the power to cherry-pick the good tracks and leave the dross on the shelf. I'll spend £2 on a Sunday paper and read less than 5% of it. Is that a good thing, to waste that much paper, that much labour on filler articles just to make a profitable package? If they attempt that same tactic on the internet once the paywalls go up, I can't see it working.
