I think a $7/month subscription to access anything over ~5 articles/month on Medium would get a lot of people to pay, and I don't think it would chase off publishers at this point. The value Medium has created is easily worth as much as Netflix, and without a doubt more valuable than the paywalls other publishers (NYT, WSJ) ask for.
- douche 10y agoI don't know. Most Medium articles are not really worth paying for, in my opinion, and so paywalling the site would just add it to that collection of sites that I ignore and filter out, like the WSJ, NYT, Wired, etc, etc. As valuable as Netflix? No way, not even close.
