They demonstrably are willing to pay some amount of money - they already pay $40-100+/mo for internet access to their ISP to get access to the stuff online. What they're not willing to do is be nickel and dimed - even if the amount they spend is tiny, the mental overhead of a pay-as-you-go plan vs an unlimited plan is such that it makes the experience much less pleasant.
- Mirioron 7y agoI don't think it follows that they are willing to pay some amount of money. Maybe they're willing to pay for something like Google, Wikipedia, Youtube as a platform, but they're probably not willing to pay for most of the niche and small sites. And I agree that pay-as-you-go would put a high mental overhead on sites. That's why we have ads instead.
