Except the way this is shaking out is that paying a small fee for the unbundled channels (or writers, etc) you _do_ want ends up costing more than the bundle did. Not to mention the overhead of managing a million subscriptions to different companies.

The model only really works if there are 1 or 3 writers that you really want for whatever reason. But it doesn't really scale beyond that.
