I wish I could just subscribe to news like I subscribe to Hulu. I'd happily pay $15/month ($22 ad-free) and then the papers I get access to can figure a fair way to divy it up.

There's got to be a startup idea in there somewhere.

I'd happily pay, but not a flat fee. I'd maintain an account with some third party, with ~$50 balance. Browsing ad-driven sites, the agent would bid whatever it took to get all ad slots, with a limit of $0.10 or whatever. Over that, I'd get a quote, and could accept or decline. Browsing paywalled sites, I'd just get the quote.
