Unlock Some Media Paywalls With a Subscription to a News Aggregator.

Apps and sites give you access to numerous newspapers and magazines.

How many times have you clicked on a link to an enticing news article only to be denied access?

The days of unlimited free news from many legitimate websites are gone. Paywalls, which became popular among publishers about 15 years ago, often keep nonsubscribers from reading content.

If this were true I'd be delighted, but I cannot find any google news service like the one described. Can you please tell me how to subscribe to such an aggregate service from Google?

Thank you, Cat0w. Yes, I do have Google News, and I look at it several times a day.

Often it presents articles that, when I click on them, I run into a paywall. It's frustrating. That's why I was excited to see this AARP story saying I could buy a service from Google that would do this: "The media companies get paid through your blanket subscription."

However, I can't find such a service on Google.
