Subscriptions usually work better when the variety of content/product offered is big. Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, NY Times; these companies offer a lot of content from a lot of producers. In contrast, most media subscriptions offer you a few articles per week that is worth of reading. The rest is usually written by people who are not necessarily more knowledgeable about the topic than their readers but only have the skill/patience of writing an article about them.
