Ok, wow, I did not know about this. It seems promising at first glance, but...
I can't find a list of partners anywhere (not counting the header image)? There's also no mention of how (much) the publications get paid. I don't want to support this if they take say 30%. I might as well pay with a credit card.
There doesn't seem to be any backlink from the publications to the inkl service, which makes me a bit suspicious.
The fact that they filter stories is weird too.
Overall, I'd prefer sort of an embedded platform where I can visit any news service and pay for an article there. Ideally it wouldn't be tied to news at all.
