Newsgroups are basically like an FTP.... It's a direct download from newsgroup servers - you are paying to access the servers...
personally, I see it like viewing a movie. I go see a movie maybe twice a month or so, at a cost of $10-13 each movie. I'd say half of the movies I can really say I enjoyed it. The rest of the time, meh. On the other hand, the money that was spent on being the newsgroups - the amount of content that was downloaded through the servers - definitely worth the price of one movie.
I guess it would really depend on how much money I was making. If I was still a student, and not working much, then this $11 might be a little harder to swallow - but since it's the price of a cheaper dinner now....
