@zeynep I think news publishers want subscriptions _so_ they can get info.
@derekwillis Classic collective action problem. If they all got together and created their own Spotify, and really paywall. It could work.

@derekwillis I mean, people *will* pay, but they won't pay again and again and register again and again and deal with ads anyway.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@zeynep but see, it's not a single market. NYT/WSJ/WaPo/USAT audience very different from local news org's audience. -
@derekwillis Sure, but give us one service. A penny or two per article something straightforward, if there's surcharge, one click dismiss. - Show replies

@zeynep why would Buzzfeed, which gets decent $ from ads & sponsored posts, join? -
@derekwillis Buzzfeed may not join. It's an ad agency sponsoring some news. So very few others in that position. - Show replies
