Is there much evidence to suggest that people are willing to pay for individual articles, though? Blendle has been around for a while and hasn't set the world alight. There are plenty of free news sources to compete with.
- uncletaco 10y agoProbably not, but I think there could be a "twitter wallet" that the user pays into. Let's say I add $5 a month to this wallet and twitter pays it's content partners based on the percentage of click through received by me. It would work like Brave browser's wallet. The problem with this though is it would probably encourage more junk content and instead of annoying ads we'll get more clickbait.
- IshKebab 10y agoThat idea is as old as the web and I don't see why Twitter doing it will suddenly make it work.
- piedpiper_ 10y agoblendle is taking the wrong approach, but the idea of micropayments is the way of the future
