That's easy to say, but when it comes to finding my credit card to type in my info for yet another news website, I can guarantee that I just don't give enough fucks about any individual news story.

I have mine saved in my password manager, but I'd rather they use a different payment processor (where it's also saved) anyway. I try to avoid giving card info directly to smaller sites.

If a news website that I could trust met my criteria, it wouldn't be 'just another' news site, it'd be my source of truth. So like I said, I would happily pay for that. And I'd pay a lot more than an average subscription.

So, a subscription with extra steps? Or is the problem that you just can’t find any trustworthy sites?

Yes. I've never found a news site that meets my criteria
