 **There is too little value from one individual source.** If I subscribe to The Verge, do I need to visit any other websites ever? If the answer is no, it doesn't really make sense. I can't subscribe to all news websites, so am I expected to pick and choose? Why is The Verge more valuable than Bloomberg or WSJ or Ars Technica?
+The idyllic news site would cover all of my interests in excruciating detail. But the reality is that few people are actually covered by this. People are diverse and have diverse interests, and the price of any one news subscription is relatively high, but the value presented is relatively low. If every publisher set a low price, it would make sense if the sum reached some normalized value ($9.99/mo for all news?), but they all have their own demands to meet, and none of them could be this cheap.
