Even $1 is probably too much. I read articles from dozens of different sources and managing that would royally suck. Got a new credit card? Have a fun next hour of your life logging in everywhere...

No, just give me an add-on so I can pay to bypass a paywall. I don't want an account everywhere, I just want to read your article, and I'm willing to pay a few cents to do so (way more than they'd get with ads).
