Dutch startup Blendle tried to do this, working with national newspapers to sell articles on a per-article basis. NY Times was one of their investors.

They still are doing it - the issue of course is blendle wants me to be the portal from which I read all my news - and I want to read it from wherever, my account bring debited when I read a blendled page.

Bahaha, yeah, no. That’s not what I’m talking about.

Imagine we could also pay a generic monthly fee for e.g. access to Netflix, Disney+, etc, and the profits go to the services we are watching at the time.

All this celebration of Disney+ is honestly sad af, and shows just how out of touch people are.

We are in days worse than cable television, except that it’s on demand.

I want the digital equivalent of a coin slot I insert money into when I'm on the nyt's website I can insert money into to read.

I think we want the same thing.
