Subscription decouples the reward for quality from the consumer.
A good system would create payment by time && Lines Read minus some Rewared for Content produced as Result by the User (Not emotional Engagment drivel in some comment, but actually contributing to a discussion).
Good Content would be peer reviewed by its readers, like it happens here on HN, and those reviews would in return garant those contributing some discount or even reward.
We are so far away from that like earth from mars.
- pouta 8y agoWouldn't it be the other way around? The subscription explicitly ties the reward to the quality. Imagine this: (1) The publisher starts writing quality content in order to gather as much subscribers as possible. (2) Th publisher gets a comfortable amount of subscribers. So it starts to wind down the content quality, thus reducing his costs. (3) Now the users aren't getting the quality they are paying for. (4) Maybe slowly, but surely the subscribers will cancel their subscriptions and ultimately lose their trust in the publication itself. (5) The world is balanced once again. Now this last point is important, the relationship between the producer and the consumer is based on trust.
- Pica_soO 8y agoRisk reward is never understood as risk reward by those doing the management. Usually what is instead attempted is a more of the same strategy- if i run a cats & dogs magazine, and i make one article on parrots, which doubles my readers, i do not see this as a signal, that a variety of animals might fly, but instead, will do a bird part of the magazine- repeat more of the same.
