I would pay $20 per month for a curated list of subscriptions to various news sources. The key word here is curated. If I subscribe to a news site, I don't want to hear about celebrity gossip. If I subscribe to a new music page, I don't want to see Beyonce on it. If I sign up for arthouse movie news, I don't want to hear about Pixar.

We've completely removed the idea of curators because "gatekeeping" and now we are stuck with what amounts to a corporate payola funded by the biggest players in the game.
