correction: "...current model of Medium"
- tonystubblebine 9y agoRe: $5. It'll be sort of interesting to see what it looks like in three years. As of now, I tell people that if they like my stuff, then the $5 is a bargain. We're publishing crazy detailed personal development stuff behind the paywall. Definitely worthwhile. But if that's not your thing, then it's much less of a guarantee right in this moment. In three years though... if they execute on a Netflix for content model... that $5 could be crazy compelling. There is a lot of great writing that would be unlocked by just having a reader who already paid rather than trying to jump through content marketing, SEO and virality hoops.
