I'd be happy to pay something, like 25 cents an article, or even a buck a month, for you know 60 articles or something. But for me to subscribe to WaPO, and NYT, I have to pay something like 240 bucks a year, when I get most of news from news aggregators.

Idk, I don't think it's too much to ask. Good journalism takes a lot of work.
more than I'm willing to spend considering the number of news sources I'm already paying for.
Good journalism wouldn’t rely on [please subscribe to read rest of comment].
Good software engineering doesn't rely on [please pay to access app].
The problem as I see it is not that I can't pay or don't see the value in good software or journalism, but that charging $$ is negatively correlated with trustworthiness and quality. Or at least not positively correlated.
