I now assume all subscriptions (a) require too much work to sign up (b) autorenew and (c) deliberately make it hard to cancel.
I can afford to subscribe to every site, but I never do. The reason is not the cost, but that subscribing is such a mess.

Mark Little suggested at Women in Media that we need a 'Netflix for news'. One signup and you can access any journalism site you want.

Been suggested for years. Aside from revenue-share etc, assumes no more ad-funded ('free') access. Tough to persuade Guardian, Mail etc

Yes! Possible scope for a service that unifies/streamlines subscriptions (online and off) & gives publishers some value in return?

Could cover everything from large established periodicals to blogs or patreon accounts.
