I really wish it were reasonable to provide monthly subscriptions that weren't several dollars per month, because I really can't support all the things that I would like to support. LWN is consistently a source of rabbit holes that I can't help but descend into, and I both begrudge them and love them for that, but $9/mo is just... a bit high. It competes with too many "I like it but don't feel a strong need for it in my life" things. But I don't blame them for choosing that level, processing fees are no joke.
This is not intended as a comment on LWN's subscription setup or the article or anything actually relevant. I'm just feeling a bit depressed at the state of funding-of-good-things. It sucks that it's so hard.
