Blendle was really cool, but they

1. didn't have the stuff I was looking for (tech comes to mind). I was still trying to use it hoping more magazines would come along.

2. changed their model. It is a few years ago now, but I think there were two things:

2 a) the original model had a time limit were you could look at an article and if you immediately realized it wasn't your thing you could go back within x seconds and not pay.

2 b) IIRC they also switched from a reasonable pay-per-view price to an "all you can eat (from our very limited buffet)" model. I think it was at this time I stopped checking and gave them up. "Pay monthly and have access to everything"-models are only really attractive if you have access to everything you want: Spotify and Apple Music are good examples here.
