So, I had this idea a while ago, because I got disgusted with the NYT op ed and their editors in general, but some of the journalists were really good. Same with WP.

I know I can subscribe to an author's xitter feed or whatever, but I really would like the entire article. I'm honestly not adverse to paying for stuff, but I'm simply fed-up with what is clearly a billionaire owned media industry.

So, imagine if you could go to a website and select from a list of journalists. Just them. Their own titles, their own unedited articles. And Pay for that as one chunk.

I'd pay $20/month if I could get a set of articles from "today" that only was authors that I actually respect, and aren't "owned" by any billionaire.

I wish we could turn it on its head and be like, "this journalist is making a living already, and has X followers. If you want *the same* artcles for reprint in your paper, you can get a reprint subscription from them, rather than owning them.

maybe a RSS feed that's a service on Signal or something.
