I'm glad to see Mozilla giving a bigger platform to this style of revenue generation. Not only is the price reasonable, it's on my favorite web browser.
Brave's BAT has always appealed to me, but the browser's too niche and the UX just isn't there for me. I think Mozilla has the resources to make this realistically become a realistic part of the dialogue with respect to monetizing the web, and only wish that they'd tried it earlier.
I'd like to learn more about Scroll's policies with respect to partner selection before I consider investing however.
The current crop of Scroll's partners is a strong whose who of some of the best and/or most well-known publications available online, but it's a pretty homogenous group. Can I run a web forum that supports scroll? Is membership content gated? Can porn sites join? Would fringe outlets like Project Veritas or Unicorn Riot (I'm not suggesting moral or qualitative equivalence, just notability) be allowed to join if they so chose?
If the Intercept dropped a set of documents that the state or a large interest group disliked, would they lose their (theoretical) membership, or would their funds be witheld?
If I'm going to invest in a service like scroll, I'd like to know that it's an open payment platform which allows for content irrespective of its moral worth provided that its content legal in _my_ jurisdiction (meaning if a foreign country decides to outlaw _x_, my consumption still supports it).
I'm also curious to know if they have any privacy protections in place to divorce my identity from the distribution of my funds at whatever interval.
