I think that would depend on the content and the reputation of the author. I think that this model would be optional per article... so if you don't have a following willing to compensate then you need to work on your craft till you do.

The only way to find out is for someone to test assumptions with an actual test and I ain't got time for that... Medium does though and they have the money and the resources and the imperative to try something new... so why not try it and see what happens?
