What I fail to understand so far is the pricing of the news. Do newspapers really earn tens of dollars/pounds/euros per month per user? I want to pay for the news, but any website I like charges a 2 digit numbers per month, and that is when you subscribe for a year. The way I see it, I should be able to pay them for ads I wont see, maybe some collateral, but current pricing in my mind doesn't reflect reality. What am I missing in this picture? Please help me understand.

You simply don’t understand how much it costs to run a decent newsroom. Online ads have never been enough to cover costs.
