It would have to be $0.05 an article. 50 cents is way too high.
Not at Bloomberg's end of the market.
I'd happily click through some "see this article for $0.49" or even 1.99, but I won't subscribe to "1 month for 1.99" because I've been conditioned to expect that this will either start billing me 19.99 per month in perpetuity, or that it will take half an hour of my time to cancel, or both.
How is your reasoning? If an article isn't even worth 50 cents, then why is it worth your time to read it? We only have limited time in this world, death is approaching swiftly.
The reasoning being that at that price you make your profits on volume. Not a lot of people are going to buy an article unless the price is pretty much throwaway.
