Or just microcharge articles. I'm willing to pay 50cts for an article. But I dont want to signup for a subscription only to forget about it and pay 30 bucks afterwards.

That's what I've been thinking would be the best way to do that.

Some sort of API that each news outlet implements into their website that bills your account on a per-article basis when you read through it (once you've scrolled like 10% of the way down).

As a layman, I would expect the main difficulty would be getting news outlets to be part of it rather than pushing their own subscriptions.

Yeah. Could you do it?

I'd totally love to, but nah. I don't have the know-how. Seems like an untapped market though.
