Also re-captcha is just obnoxious. Fucking hell.

This is honestly, one of the less egregious monetisation strategy. It's just a dollar. What else were you going to spend it on? refined sugar?

But yeah using the web fucking sucks these days. I think I'm going back to my car radio for news now.

Sure, the dollar is a low introductory price, but it always goes up after the trial to $7-10/month.  My biggest issue is when it's not a site I've never heard of and can't say I plan on coming back to in the 3 months.

I'd honestly rather they just charge me like 15 cents to read the one article and I can just go about my day.

Oh... yeah sorry I imagined that they were offering that last option. More websites need microtransactions instead of subscriptions.

Especially with how people browse the web.  I don't really go looking for articles to read, I get them from Twitter and the Digg newsletter almost entirely.  So I really have no need for a singular subscription.
