> You let such people participate by designing systems where content producers can make money without getting money from every individual. > Monthly commitments are a serious burden for poor people. A lot of people don't want charity and are fine with paying their own share. What I am trying to say is simple, the timing of payment is often critical for people. $10 on day 1 of a month is not the same as $10 in the third week. Most utilities get this. It would be nice if people planning the future of paying for website, news, etc. get this through their head before they leave out part of the population. > This is really about 67 cents for me, but I don't want to treat other poor people like charity cases. I think that actively creates problems.) That is a good attitude because treating other poor people as charity cases often leads to contempt even if its subtle. A lot of poor people won't be that way later, but they will still have the memories.
