How many ads will there be, though?

Also, ads aren't paying everyone's bills -- hence the paywalls -- so that number must be too low.

(Not to mention the other issue with this: in general it's not ads or micropayments/paywalls -- it's ads and micropayments/paywalls. Hell, if micropayments were feasible, it would probably be all three.)

On the VERY high end the CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) is what, $2? That's 0.2 cents per view. I'll gladly pay 5 cents to read the article, even up to $1 if it's a really good investigative/well-researched piece.

I'm not paying $5/outlet/month though, ever!
