I mean he's right but as a business model it doesn't work. Also for people who haven't realised this is a plug for GNU Taler.
Anyway. I think the reason it doesn't work as a business model is that really, honestly, reading the paper provides very little in terms of value to the average person. It's a very mild source of entertainment and nothing more. It used to be that the newspapers where the only media to get important information (classifieds, job ads...etc). Not any more.
- RVuRnvbM2e 10y agoI strongly disagree. I order a physical (weekly) newspaper for two reasons: a) It provides a broad range of interesting articles on topics which are otherwise outside my filter bubble. This is incredibly important in an era where many people get all their news through their facebook feed. b) It's perfect to flick through over breakfast :)
- jasonkostempski 10y agoWhat is the name of the newspaper?
- RVuRnvbM2e 10y agoCoincidentally enough, given TFA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian_Weekly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian_Weekly
- danieldk 10y agoIt should also be mentioned that The Guardian is one of those newspapers that is willing to experiment with different models. E.g., they have a premium tier on iOS and Android for 3 Euro per month without ads: https://www.theguardian.com/info/2013/aug/12/1 https://www.theguardian.com/info/2013/aug/12/1
