The problem is twofold:

1. I want to look around and find what is useful for me. I'm not willing to spend very much money per unit of information, because I'm sifting through a bunch of crap.

2. For stuff that is valuable, I'm willing to pay, but I can't tell if something is valuable until I look at it in its totality.

I've been holding out hope for at least 15 years that Apple would find a way to make micropayments work for news. I pay for a few subscriptions, but I'd happily pay a little bit for news items I read elsewhere.
