Do people really pay for news?

2 pointsby danm07almost 8 years ago
Is there a revenue modal for news that appeals to users? I hear a lot of complaints, including from PG, that subscriptions are a pain to manage, yet it is the most widely used.<p>Would a pay-per-article work better or would it repel users?

People are paying for news - less and less - every year.<p>I think a &quot;pay-per-article&quot; may have worked better 10 years ago, I can&#x27;t even justify paying for great newspapers anymore..<p>It&#x27;s a race to the bottom, where the only real money will come from advertisers.
