I've gotten the impression it'd cost like $100 / month to subscribe to the different newspapers whose articles I read maybe once a month?

But if there was a way to subscribe to all of them and pay $1 per article

(But I'd like to use Trim for 2 years, for Nyt.)

How many newspapers would you realistic subscribe to? If you're reading the NYT, LAT, WAPO, WSJ, FT, then yes, the subscriptions add up.

  • If the newspapers/sites expect every reader to subscribe, it can add up quickly, if you're reading 2 articles in each of 20 publications every month.

    I do wish more people would pay for content, but the market hasn't really adjusted to the way people read 1% of dozens of different publications.

    • Yes, and I find it a bit weird that the newspapers won't collaborate and do sth about this -- I wonder how much money they're missing out on.

      @catacombs -- those, + the economist, + 3? more in my home country

      Most of all I'd like to support small local newspapers
