You conflate a subscriber who pays $450&#x2F;year with a person buying a one-off with no further obligation.  A profitable business will charge them wildly different unit prices.  Much like itunes will sell you a song for $1.29 each and spotify will charge you $5&#x2F;mo for unlimited music.<p>I&#x27;d charge $5+ for the article.  Again, you also have to avoid cannibalizing subscription revenue.
