Just like how Netflix and Hulu and Disney+ have gotten more and more siloed, having more and more exclusive content, I don’t want to give money to just one or two publications. Mostly the NYT is utter crap but they do have a decent editorial here and there and I won’t want to only support “liberal” news sources either. As you said I’d be okay with a flat rate and the sites I visit the most get the most of my money or if there were more independent agencies or foundations that would give grants to news orgs that have demonstrated a commitment to honest and fair journalism.
