Only I have subscription overload. Every newspaper and their dog wants to sell me subscriptions but I generally don't read newspapers daily.
I'd love to have access to this data through some spotify-for-text service or Blendle or something though.
I guess I'm not alone in wanting both to pay researchers, bloggers, journalists etc etc, but based on what I read, not based on a monthly subscribtion to every company that I ever want to read something from?
I keep my recurring subscriptions to a minimum too, so I understand. But, funding the procurement of statistically significant numbers of multiple models of SSD drives, running them through to end-of-life characterization, and keeping that all updated as new models come out is a higher spending profile than your typical blogger. It seems more like a business research report or recurring lab test type of service.
Maybe Flattr [0] is close enough? You set a monthly budget, pick things to support over the course of the month, and at the end of the month those things automatically get their slice of your pre-set budget.
