Shortsighted, wouldn't you say? Eventually this will choke out all competition except for companies with the smartest people/deepest pockets. We'll end up creating monopolies around content by refusing to pay for it when there was healthy competition.

- andromeduck 10y agoI for one am willing to pay for content as long as it's large enough to o cover most of the sites I frequent, fixed rate subscription, no extea fees for content (pay per comment/timed exclusivity for paid members to drive membership fine by me), and most importantly, a way to personally choose who gets a portion (at least 25%) of the subscription fees. Short of that I really don't give a damn. It's not my problem.

Content doesn't only come from people that put tons of crappy ads on their sites. And I can't say I'll find it tragic when Buzzfeed and Upworthy go bankrupt.
