In general, yes. But it's also the "Netflix of information" in that discovery is difficult, and you're fighting an opaque algorithm working behind the scenes.
I'd love the information subscription but with, say, a NetNewsWire-style interface: reverse chronological feeds and search box.
It's the most obvious thing ever, and it, of course, will never happen.
The new media companies seem completely oblivious to how people consume information. I touch 10+ news sources a day, at a minimum. There is no way in hell I'm going to subscribe to 10+ new services.
I would bet they know how people consume information, they don’t know how to sufficiently capture revenue from it or if copy pasting it on a different website is sufficiently easy.
inkl has pretty good variety of news sources for a reasonable subscription fee, i subbed for years then started using apple news. Unfortunately i cannot recommend inkl because you have to email support to cancel your subscription, they offer a 50% discount if you try to cancel but that business practice of sign up with one click, email support to cancel i cannot condone.
