> the rationale of users who pay for "smart people thoughts"

I pay for the Economist all the time. So far it's been great. The news is completely useless on a personal value basis, but reading the insightful calm reporting without drama has been fantastic. Especially during the US election when it felt like the whole world was screaming at me 24/7.

I'm also a big buyer of audiobooks from experts so that I can get their "smart people thoughts" on $topic.
