Not OP, but I think one way things shake out (at least for news) is this:

Step 1: News journalists offer an LLM friendly private API to OpenAI and others. Maybe they create some special templated markdown articles.

Step 2: OpenAI offers a subscription add-on: Want up to date news for your chat sessions? Pay $5/month, and we will give a bundled "News" tool from various paywalled journals. Maybe NYTimes and Economist and whatnot.

Step 3: Now, you can ask ChatGPT to give you current events in the morning.

Now you can imagine this sort of market for other useful things as well. Basically, selling curated information to chat bots.

You can play around with the exact arrows here. Maybe you instead buy an LLM access key directly from NYTimes, and then you can plug it into multiple chat providers.

The idea is that you create a market for first-party LLM MCP or similar. Like maybe one for YouTube tooling bundled together with YouTube premium.

I'm not sure what people would pay for. But I think it should be centred around curation and new information somehow.
