  https://contributor.google.com/v/beta https://contributor.google.com/v/beta The gp post is correct. When given the option between an ad, adblock, or tipping, people overwhelmingly choose option #1 or #2. They then complain about ads, if they chose #1, and about adblock naggers, if they chose #2. And, of course, all three sets of people lose their mind when they run into a paywall. There is no non-legislative solution to this problem.

    Simple, paywall but provide an option to pay a reasonable price for an article, say $0.25 instead of tipping or ads. Of course NYT and all want a sleezy $5 subscription that’ll balloon to $30/mo in three months.

    Google contributor most likely was a failure because they didn't do anything about promoting it. I only learned about it on hn and after it was already dead.
