@dangoodin often, I would be very much willing to pay a small fee to be able to read an article. Just like I would buy a printed magazine. I just can’t pay for a subscription for all of the news outlets.
It would be awesome if you could provide a simple „pay 2,50 € to access this article“ process.

@Niklas yes, agreed. I run into this predicament multiple times per day. Interesting that micro payments has been one of the Internet's longest running unsolved problems.

@Niklas @dangoodin That would be pretty steep for a single article when you can get a full printed issue for roughly the same amount. I agree though, there ought to be a simple way to pay a sensible amount for occasional reading. There's no way I'm paying full subscription price for all the publications where I read (in full) one or two articles per month.
