I would absolutely pay $5 a month to get past all the news paywalls, or 10 cents for an article. The big thing is that it would need to be easy. Like “login once and get access to all of them without additional accounts” easy. Or if it’s a pay per article, again not have to make an account and configure a credit card, just use a central service that I can get the article in under 2 clicks (buy and confirm) no matter which paywall it is.
