> If you consider the price of a full subscription to a quality newspaper

Newspaper subscription prices are extremely inflated when you compare what they would’ve earning from ads (and they were happy with ads until blockers came around).

If they actually priced the subscriptions for the same amount ads would bring them from an average reader (excluding ad blockers) they would be much more affordable.

Sadly, just like the movie industry, the publishers are being greedy and shot themselves in the foot.

Guardian's annual contribution starts at €0.96 per week [1]. Greedy? If anything, that's too cheap.

You're underestimating how much ads pay.
