Isn’t this what Apple News+ is for $10/month, at least roughly? I do wish there were more options to choose what’s in the bundle though.

They pay the publishers based on what articles you read, so you get to choose what is in the bundle, but not the price of the bundle.

The main problem with the model is that it encourages clickbait titles. The secondary problem is that many people that want to support independent journalism also dislike walled gardens.
