How many times have you clicked on a link to an enticing news article only to be denied access?

If this were true I'd be delighted, but I cannot find any google news service like the one described. Can you please tell me how to subscribe to such an aggregate service from Google?

    Do you have Google and have you checked what is available from Google? See Example images below. Click on, tap, or activate image to enlarge it.

      Thank you, Cat0w. Yes, I do have Google News, and I look at it several times a day.

       

      Often it presents articles that, when I click on them, I run into a paywall. It's frustrating. That's why I was excited to see this AARP story saying I could buy a service from Google that would do this: "The media companies get paid through your blanket subscription."

      However, I can't find such a service on Google.
