I'm not interested in paying about $3.33/article.
When they do big investigations I'd be happy to to pay $1 or $2 to read it.
This? No.

While the principle of "per article" pricing is appealing, it won't probably work in practice: generating content worth paying for is not like spinning up servers because the cost of production occurs upfront _and_ have non-zero marginal cost.
I've never used Apple news, I'm kind of hesitant to. I already track the sites I care about through RSS and see many of the same things through Twitter first. I don't really want to start using a third thing that overlaps with the other two.
At $50 a year or so I would be quite happy to. But it turns out it's a couple hundred. That price is just way too high for the frequency I want to read their content.
So instead if one of these places does really good journalism I end up writing a summary of it on another site.
Now that Apple Pay on the web exists I've been hoping more places would allow access to a single article for one dollar, but it hasn't happened (I assume do the transaction fees).
