StreemPay: Read articles. No subscription. retweeted
I would easily double or triple my $ spend on news if I could sign up for something that gets rid of all paywalls. Massive bundling opportunity. Why doesn't this exist?
StreemPay: Read articles. No subscription. retweeted
One of my favourite parts of StreemPay is finding gripping long-reads, old and new, for our beta readers to enjoy. So many page-turners this week!
Here's a short list of a few of them 馃憞
(If you want to try the beta and not hit the paywalls, DM me for details)
Today is 10 years since the @nytimes put up it's paywall.
It's easily the most successful news publication to have done so with 6+ million digital subscribers.
But most other publications that followed have struggled. Why? 馃憞
One payment each month.
Covers every publication you've read.
Handy dashboard to track everything you're reading.
It costs $189 pm just to subscribe to:
@latimes - $8
@TheAthletic - $8
@washingtonpost - $15 (premium)
@nytimes - $17 (from March)
@BostonGlobe - $28
@TheEconomist -$36 ($109 per quarter)
@WSJ - $37
@FT - $40
And still so many other sites to read. We need another way to pay...
Do you know how much you spend on subscriptions every month - news, phone, music, gaming, video, beauty....?
Most people who guess underestimate the cost by ~200%...(!)
Check to see if you spend more or less than an average US consumer? 馃憞

1 - Mobile phone 79%
2 - Wifi at home 78%
3 - TV/movies 76%
