Exactly, just like I expect to get paid for my work. I want a simple way to pay for all the pay walls in aggregate so I'm not signing up for 27 different subscriptions and I read one article from each source. I'm not against paying, I'm against a huge pile of bullshit management.

No no, that's a monopoly (by HN standards). If anything like that were to exist, in 5 years time the comments section would be full of people clamouring for anti-trust action.

How do you feel about Apple news, or similar aggregators?

I haven't used it, but it looks ok. It doesn't fit my usage patterns though.

Those hit the same issue, given they are just linking to various sources, each with a paywall.

At least Google News and Artifact lets you block sources and with Artifact it understands paywalls, so stops recommending you posts after a while.

The one thing both of them are missing is the ability add a new source. E.g. if I stumble upon an interesting blog post or newsletter, let me add that blog to the mix, but use the same algorithm to incorporate the post intelligently into the algo feed.
