    I've written about this for years and am always given reasons why it can't happen. I keep wanting to pay to read, but there is no way I am entering my information ten times a day and trying to remember to cancel or pay 17.99 per one alluring article etc.https://twitter.com/cd_hooks/status/1260995103864348674 …

    25 years into online journalism, we still don't have an easy to pay a buck to read an article at a site we wouldnt otherwise subscribe, and we still don't have an easy way to throw a buck to writers that write for free. it's a lil bewildering to me

        I wanted something like that for a long time, even wrote about in five years ago when I thought it was bewildering that it didn't already exist. https://medium.com/message/spotify-but-for-the-titanic-a-proposal-for-the-future-of-news-and-publishing-40c41fbebe7b …https://twitter.com/reedlauber/status/1261009115838464001 …

        Surprising that someone hasn’t attempted a platform where you can pay a single monthly subscription, and then have a browser plugin that registers and pays for each view.

        I wonder if it'd be possible to have some system shared between magazines/papers where, like, you paid $20 a month and got 10 credits you could use for different articles or whatever, and they got a percentage of the pool as a result? a universal subscription

        It's been attempted many times I think. Different outlets don't want to hand control of sales over to an 3rd party, so it's a tough sell.

        Such a solvable problem, and it doesn’t even need to be a buck. It could be 50 cents, even 25 cents. Lots of people would click that without thinking twice.

        The obstacle to solving it is doing it in a way that's not a huge tracking vector. Need anonymous initial payment and ideally anonymous proof of existing payment for repeat viewing.

        There was a company called QPass that tried this about 20 years ago. I recall they came and gave a demo when I was a web dev at http://usnews.com . They disappeared in the dot-com bust of the early aughts.

        Also, related pet peeve — I am a @guardian subscriber, I have the app, I’m logged into the app. If I open a Guardian article in Safari, it doesn’t know I’m a subscriber and it bugs me about subscription. I’m ok with a cookie for this purpose 🍪 🙄
