interesting free market failure:
- nobody likes paying for news (newsrooms, newsletters, digests, podcasts/shows)
- first thing almost everybody sets up their agent to do is "daily digest" to "monitor the situation"
agentic micropayments for news appears to be a market where supply and demand don't meet
but there's clearly value and demand
maybe "news" can only exist as a loss-leader product offering that's financed by deeper pockets (platforms selling "pro" or "alpha" products, billionaire reputation greenwashing)
competition on quality and entertainment value, rather than price
