I loved the fact that you could buy articles instead of getting another subscription.

I disliked the pay per article model, because it reinforces how expensive news articles actually are in the real world (outside ads-sponsored, click bait articles). I also tried their subscription model, but disliked it even more because you could only read the articles that they (or some ML algorithm) selected. It seems that they now offer unlimited magazine articles (but no newspapers), but magazines do not really interest me.

In the end we decided to take a newspaper subscription again. The price is somewhat steep, but you have unlimited access, and most of the money ends up where it should go.

If I understand correctly, they also offer free newspapers, except for the most recent 7 days. So it's not for you if your job requires you to be up-to-date with most newspapers.
