lol, I was so confused. An ad for what though?

I am trying. Closest I've got to is the Boston Globe. They took it (semi)-seriously , but ended up not going through.

It is a huge issue. Newspapers give everyone 90% off for a whole year in hopes of conversion (or customers forgetting to cancel), but they do not see this as an issue.

I don't think they'll do very well in the future if they refuse to change.

Another company that I know about who successfully sold/partnered with big news companies told me that it's almost impossible. The execs refuse to change and the only reason they got those partnerships were because of their advisors who were ex-media execs.

It's going to be an uphill battle, but I'm not writing it off just yet.

Hm. Where in the page did you get the idea that it's a passthrough API? Genuinely curious. If that's the case then I'll need to fix the page because that's not what it is.

Did you read anything on the website at all before commenting this?

Correct, but the credits can be spent on any apps in our network and there's no expiration on it.

Using OAuth2.0 standard for authentication & authorization then using the access token from that to call our APIs to track usage!

It depends on how much you use, sure. But the point is a lot of people aren't willing to get subscriptions but still wants to use new apps - maybe just once or twice to try things out. For these people who use apps once in a while, it's cheaper to pay for only what they use.

Not only that, but subscriptions are going to kill startups.

33% of consumers wont get a new subscription unless they cancel an existing one.

Literally the definition of a zero-sum game as this number is increasing, but the new apps that come into market every single day are defaulting to subscriptions...
