I guess people are not expected to notice it is not very well curated, but even so, the paying aspect would stick in my throat. I also have a mixed way of accessing blogs I read: some I get notifications of by email, others I click on from my own blog roll, and others I follow through to via other blogs and their lists!

I subscribe to a few blogs, have a few put in a favourite list and otherwise usually just remember the names and visit daily, weekly or when I want to be entertained.
