Don’t Bloomberg & FT have a number of well-written, informative articles every month? Maybe you just want the exclusives which even then they often break stuff (at least Gurman on Bloomberg, especially if you care about Apple/OpenAI).

Yes, so does Economist, The Verge and many many other sites.

But I'm interested in maybe 3 articles a month. If I were to pay for them it's like paying for Netflix and watching a movie a month. Or subscribing to a dead-tree newspaper and only reading the comics.

I do get that micropayments are hard, but it's not a technical issue - it never has been. It's all about credit card costs and legalese.
