Though I do wish that someone would make a Spotify for news so that I could pay once and get access to all of them and at least give them 10 cents per article or something, because I will never pay the subscription cost any are asking. As much as I'd like to support them, the price to utility ratio is way the fuck off at the prices they ask now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] insomniac20k@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children) That’s kinda what Apple News+ is but stuck in their walled garden. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] realitista@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago* (3 children) I'm okay except for the walled garden part.
