I think a lot of people like me would pay for it if there was some sensible micro-payment system. I&#x27;m hardly ever inclined to sign up and pay ~$10 a month to read an article on a site. If I saw the article in a newspaper at a stand or machine, I used to  spend 50 cents buy it and get an entire newspaper for my money. A single article would seem to be worth at most 25 cents, most of the time a dime, and I would gladly pay that amount to read a good article. I don&#x27;t understand what the problem is and why this isn&#x27;t implemented yet.
