That's an interesting angle, charge the creators instead of the consumers. I'm writing from time to time on Medium myself, and could have paid for that as well.

I've also sometimes paid for images for my articles. If Medium made is super easy (and cheap) to find and buy images for an article, I'd use it.
Have no idea if these revenue streams could scale to the degree Medium needs, though.

- alex_hirner 10y agoI think the trick would be to suggest suitable pictures per paragraph based on NLP. If to take the highest rated content, there would already be a (biased) learning set available.
- mrborgen 10y agoSomething like that yes, though fully integrated into Medium, and ideally with smart suggestions for which images to use/buy.
