The #1 reason I won't subscribe to the NYT, WSJ, FT etc is that auto-renewals mean an extra thing I have to think about.

@paulg it's time for micropayments. I have always said they will not work. I think they can work now +/- 3 years. Apple Pay, Amazon etc. -
@anshublog It's been time. I've been wanting to fund this startup for about 9 years. -
@paulg saw your tweet about micro payments yesterday. Did you check our company http://Blendle.com ?http://www.politico.eu/article/the-dutch-tech-whiz-who-could-save-journalism/ …

@paulg Surely auto renewal is less work than choosing to pay every article. Keeping track of auto renewals is a feature banks could address. -
@paulg pay per article promotes bad journalism as articles that are more popular will gain priority, news reporting will trend to LCD -
@TheSmiddy Possibly, but we can't be certain of this till someone tries it.

@paulg Interesting. Would you advise a similar startup not to do auto-renewals? -
@MattKrisiloff@paulg the papers require a phone call to cancel. Startups should make it easy to cancel, don't incite already unhappy users. -
@zackkanter@paulg I can cancel NYTimes online. But no auto-renewal->easier customer aq vs auto-renewal->retention seems interesting to try. -
@MattKrisiloff@paulg ah, Crossword may work differently. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CImNpmwUAAA1WTi.png …
