Do people really pay for news?

Is there a revenue modal for news that appeals to users? I hear a lot of complaints, including from PG, that subscriptions are a pain to manage, yet it is the most widely used.

Would a pay-per-article work better or would it repel users?

People are paying for news - less and less - every year.

I think a "pay-per-article" may have worked better 10 years ago, I can't even justify paying for great newspapers anymore..

It's a race to the bottom, where the only real money will come from advertisers.
