#13Since you are specifically looking at services that can be provided by a small team or 1 person, I'm going to answer with services that I pay for that are managed by one person/small team than adding some things that I would like. Hopefully, this will help you get a subscription business idea you want to offer. Personal training - I pay a monthly fee to my coach. I would certainly pay a monthly fee for other services…
Thanks for the GoRails shoutout! <3

#14I would pay for a monthly subscription for any teenager's monthly mailed "box" service. I currently subscribe to over 3 dozen such services. It's sort of an addiction...
Anyway, if you are a young entrepreneur building a site that offers a monthly subscription for something, I will almost certainly be interested.
Please PM me when you product is done. I would love to be your first subscriber!

#15I would pay a recurring subscription for something that was worth more (to me) than I paid for it. Edit: After your edit: I would pay a recurring subscription for something that sent me seeds for my garden each season, with some basic instructions and a chart for when to plant & harvest, what to plant together, etc. Presumably I would have some minor say-so in what kind of plants I was getting, (Root crops, fruits, v…
Examples?
You're asking for an example of something that is worth more to a purchaser than they paid for it?

#16A collection of decently written sci-fi short stories every three or four months as a pdf/epub file. Think something like what Humble[0] puts out every couple of weeks.

This looks pretty good I might have to give it a try.

#20Excerpt repository
Not sure if this fits, but for a while I've been wanting there to be a site for written excerpts and their annotations, if any.
It would be for interesting non-fiction articles, books and for research papers, but not a TL;DR service, rather it'd pull out excerpts that the crowd has marked (including the reader's annotations) as thought-provoking or key to understanding a certain concept.
HNers sometimes do something similar when they copy/paste a key line in an article posted here and share it in the comments. I want it as a service.

News repository
Another thing I was thinking about today is how so many articles on so many different subjects get published per day yet they seem to just disappear into the ether after a few days. For example, where are the interesting articles about _____ from the first half of 2007? Again, I'm not sure if this could be a subscription service, but it'd be nice to be able to access 10 such articles per month and have them sent to my Kindle.
By the way, I checked Google News and did a search for a random topic from 10 years ago and it gave me a fair number of results from one major newspaper and one of its affiliates, plus one or other two random sources here and there. I'd bet that if I were sent back 10 years and took note of everything that came out about said subject, I'd come away with a lot more content, and from way more sources.
