Here's how it went for Blendle, which had the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, The Economist, Time, and more on board. It wasn't payment processors that killed it. https://www.niemanlab.org/2023/08/the-poster-child-for-micro...

Is it really about people not being willing to pay though?

I hadn't even heard of Blendle, had I heard that it was a thing and had the mentioned publishers I would've used it.

I've visited those sites so many times and I've never even seen a mention of Blendle.
