I find it very disturbing that other commentators on this post are encouraging to subscribe to this magazine. If you don’t pay your employees that’s pretty bad. If you actively mislead people into thinking that you can pay them that’s even more horrible. I find this behavior reprehensible and we should wait for this joke of a magazine to end.

- volkk 9y agoi don't know, i wouldn't call this magazine a joke. I think the quality of the writing is top notch, and the level of the topics is extremely interesting. i don't disagree that what's going on financially is pretty reprehensible, but at the very least i can still attempt to support the writers who probably spent a lot of time writing these awesome pieces by reading their work.
- zitterbewegung 9y agoI would rather figure out who the writers are and send them money directly . Maybe then they could feed their family.
- djsumdog 9y agoIf anything it's a call to go back to individual sites/blogs and finding some kind of micro/subscription architecture that works. Flattr kinda failed, but Patreon has at least made some headway.
- volkk 9y agoyou know, i just went straight to patreon to check out their writers section and they have a bunch. i wish more writers would take advantage of this tool. i actually also just went to check out some of the writers on patreon. first name that came up is jim davies who seems to be a professor amongst other things. another is george musser who is a contributing editor to scientific american. now i dont know who hasnt gotten paid, but i wonder if the people that are writing for nautilus are mostly all already very accomplished and have no need to use things like patreon.
