People used to pay ~1$ for some paper to be delivered to their front door. The content is not what they were paying for.



I'm pretty sure people wouldn't pay $1 for a stack of blank newspaper sheets delivered to their front door.


I seem to recall the classifieds and ads paid for the reporting. But anyway, we used to subscribe to the local paper until recently. They used to scam us by telling us our subscription expired before it really did (we used to mark it on Google calendar) and playing games with the pricing until we eventually had enough.
