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

      Way easier said than done.
