That's a step in the right direction. The problem I have with signing up for a subscription is two fold. First is that I don't feel like I traffic particular sites often enough to justify the price they ask. Second is that I don't want to give up the personally identifiable information they ask for (and sell off).
I'd much rather there be an anonymous mechanism for making one-time payments or tips. Maybe a metadata header that indicates a BTC address that can be picked up by a plug-in of the user's choosing?
- CaptSpify 10y agoI'd love to be able to anonymously say "Yeah! This article was sooo good, it deserves $10!" or "That article was crap. It doesn't deserve anything". But that has to be done after I've read it. In the current ad model, articles get paid based on how much they are shared, not how much people like the content. EDIT: It's kind of like tip-sharing. If I have a good waiter, I don't want to the crappy waiter to have his share of the tip.
