I thought about subscriptions for publishing in the past, very tricky. Surely I don't want revenue share to go "per view", quality is only going down that way (it's exactly the same situation as with ads, with publications struggling to get eyeballs, continuing in the clickbait practices that are killing the good stuff).
On the other hand I never felt like clicking the flattr button. But as things are now I prefer to opt in after reading a good article than ending up on some actual fake news by mistake and knowing I contributed to make them rich.
That is without even talking about the problem (in my opinion) that even the more innocent subscriptions (music, tv, movies) have with stuff like geo restrictions and exclusives...
And to be clear, I use uBlock Origin because ABP's idea of trusted publishers would be stupid even if it was not a shakedown business
