Such a site would suffer from 2 major disadvantages.

In the absence of advertisement driven revenues, it would have to charge money, raising the barrier of entry compared to the current alternatives. In addition it cannot provide regular dopamine hits (because that’s the whole point) so it even feels less appealing than the alternatives.

More expensive and less appealing is a hard combo to succeed with.

maybe it's an opportunity to go back to the old recipe of paying with money for things you want to acquire. I'd gladly pay for a news service like that.
