No need for bundling really. I subscribe to a major American news source for $2/month. Their algorithm figured out that's what i'm willing to pay and got it right. I assume that for most big publishers this could work (possibly through some process of price discovery and segmentation to capture those willing to pay more).

I also subscribe to a patreon for $3/momth - for small publishers this obviously works too (again alongside higher tier plan options).

The problem is the middle sized publishers, they likely need higher revenue per subscriber to survive.

$2 / month sounds like a bargain. Where I live it is much more expensive.
