For me, subscriptions wouldn&#x27;t be great.  There aren&#x27;t many sources where I appreciate a wide enough range of their stuff that I would want the &quot;buffet&quot; model of paying for access to everything they have.<p>As an example, I really like vice.com&#x27;s reporting and perspectives on Syria, ISIS, etc.  However, I&#x27;m not a fan of their reporting on other topics, like gun violence, environmental issues, etc.<p>I would be much more excited about micropayments where I pay only for what I care about.  In the same way that I like &quot;on demand movies&quot; over say, a subscription to HBO.
