I want a "Netflix of information". Let me pay 30€/month for unlimited information access, quality, no clickbait and no ads.

Of course, seeing what happens with Netflix now, I guess it wouldn't last long until things turn back to the old way...

Used to be you simply paid your ISP and -bam- that was it: you had the Netflix of information at your fingertips. Now everyone has their hand out.

Many people have their hand out, because many people think working for free is not a good deal for them.

I guess that's sort of the value proposition of Apple News+ if you're in their ecosystem, right?

[ashryan]

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.

[deeviant]

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.

[lotsofpulp]

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.
