Imagine if there was a separate sign-up with all our details and then a credit card, so you can subscribe to each show you want to watch. Not streaming network, but each show.<p>And people wonder why news site subscription doesn't work.
There is an alternative history where news organizations realized the threat of the Internet and search.<p>Then they would have all bound together as an Uber Monopoly to fight against loss of all revenue.<p>This would have been great for allowing consumers to just sign up for one service to read all news.
Bundles seem like a potential solution here.<p>Also I always imagined something like where I can load 20 dollars into an account and pay 10-20 cents for accessing an article. There could be a shared framework between many different news sites.
