Very cool! I think about subscription overload pretty frequently, and how something like this could line up with the news industry.

I haven’t seen a product in a while, but I feel like libraries offering news access is about as close as there’s been to a successful product in subscription consolidation.

The news industry could 100% do better. They're literally the ONLY industry that offers 90% off to everyone for a whole year...but seems to not see a problem with that. I made a post about it here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sjunwikul_what-this-roman-emp...

Not only that, but subscriptions are going to kill startups.

33% of consumers wont get a new subscription unless they cancel an existing one.

Literally the definition of a zero-sum game as this number is increasing, but the new apps that come into market every single day are defaulting to subscriptions...
