But how? I usually have never heard of some publication and literally want to read one article and never visit the site again. I don’t want to whip out my credit card, fill out a form, have a subscription on the books that I have to cancel, just so I can read that one article. I want the web equivalent of an ezPass transponder.


Apple News+ is one way.

Another is what 404media does. You pay $10 a month for no ads and extra stuff.

But yes, I know what you want and sadly there’s nobody doing it yet.


Oh its been done dozens of times, it just always fails.


Yeah, Ted Nelson even talked about it. It requires a level of cooperation that we may see eventually.

What is an article worth to read?
