I'm not seeing any evidence of this. What's the source of this particular nonsense?

Originally posted by Lance View PostI predict a rise in news aggregators.
For less than the cost of a times (murdoch version) sub you can get Apple news. That includes the times and Wall Street journal and some rubbish.
But I expect we will see more of this over the coming year.Comment

I'm sure I heard the idea floated years ago, and it makes perfect sense to me. The problem at the moment isn't just the idea of paywalls, its the fact that you would need to juggle so many different subscriptions to so many different publications that it all gets a bit too much. I'd be more than happy to pay for content as I use it, but I'm not adding another 15 standing orders to my bank account. If someone isn't working on this, they should be - and it would probably work out well for the publications as well. People baulk at the idea of even a relatively small monthly subscription, but not at a one-off 5p spend in the moment. I've no doubt quite a few places would end up getting £5 a month off me.Comment
