i 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.
