I like where they're going, seems like they've got a lot of papers signed up which is great, but I was hoping for more of a subscription model which would allow me to read as I please rather than spending on a per-article basis. I'd have to be deeply interested in the content to pay that price. The way the movie and music industries largely beat piracy was by getting good subscription models - I'm hoping we'll see the same here too.

If you don't think the article is worth it, you can get a refund with one click at least. NY Times articles are 19 cents.

Yes, a subscription model would be useful. Blendle has that in the Netherlands to my knowledge.
