I think if./ did go to a pay-site format they would have to keep a free version with ads for everyone else or face inevitable doom. I'd be willing to pay $0.50/mo per site to access my news sites and search sites without ads. Anything above that I think would be a flop. Internet information should stay free but if I can help support the webmasters of the sites that I love and in return get less ads for a very very small fee I'd be keen.
Mind you I'd have to log in, and that would be a pain in the butt to have to do each and every morning to each page.
