I agree with the ideas in this post but I am skeptical about their implementation.

Users are shown a headline, an associated picture, and first 2-4 sentences of an article. Then they can buy the rest for ¢1-5. It feels like something that could be very easily exploited by clickbait. Although it currently does not seem to be.

I do like the current assortment of news. It's not like other social media sites where news content is personalized to the user's likes and dislikes, or biases. Unfortunately, it looks like Post. are looking into news personalization. I just really miss the time when facts like what's relevant in the world were not "personalized".

Looks like the Fortune Magazine is experimenting with ¢25 articles now.

Been on there since before the “dohicky” days and I have yet to see a post behind such a paywall. I know they want to enable this, but you don’t actually see it in the wild.

On the main page, there are three tabs - "Following", "Explore" and "News". At least that's what I see.

I’m not sure what that has to do with it, but one can add #AnyArbitraryHashtag to the top, too.
