1. Not built into the browser. Requires logging into yet more websites to get only a handful of newspaper websites.

2. They still track you. See, for instance, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18202382

3. Prices still too high. I don't a single story on https://www.washingtonpost.com/ that I would pay more than 2cents for.
