Yes. For that reason I have a subscription to one of the major papers.
What I'd like is a federated system, where say 90% goes to the paper I'm subscribed to, but 10% goes into a pool of other participating papers, allowing me to view a few articles a month at other papers. 2 factors at play: I can't reasonably have multiple subscriptions and I don't have enough time to take advantage of content from more than 1 large paper. But I'd like a way to support good articles from other papers on a more occasional basis.
Disclaimer: I haven't fully thought this through and I'm sure there are pitfalls in this approach… happy to hear about them!
