Another tier in your pay model would be nice

I see plenty of complaints about free article limits.   I can't recall when I last was able to read an article at all however I don't object to paywalls.

What I can say is that my tolerance with very few exceptions for paying for media is fairly low like $1-$2/mo.   The reason for this is I read a lot of varied media and there is no way on average I'd pay much more than that if I only read 1 article a month on average.   So by the time I subscribe to 10 publications I'm already over my budget and reading limits for the year.  

For the last 3 years we have been subscribed to the NYT's and their subscription is less than SA's.    NYT's seems to realize that hesitant subscribers that read varied media just can't afford much more than this.    

If you had a free then basic tier with say 5 articles a month and a system that worked correctly that might scratch my itch if you were in that $1-$2/month or say $10-20/yr.   At the moment I don't get much value from SA and it just clutters up my inbox so I have to think about dropping my feed altogether.    

If I were a different kind of investor then that might all change but I'm not.   I'm a slow moving buy and hold investor.

Anyway something for the suggestion box.
