What an actual joke of an article. An overly academic way to say that "we don't want users to pick and choose what they pay for, we want them to spend extra money on unlocking all content, regardless of its subjective quality".
How about this... make the content free and put a tip jar. If you don't like that approach, don't be mad when people don't pay to unlock.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoHow about this... make the content free and put a tip jar. That's basically my model (plus Patreon). I think if I had enough traffic, it could actually support me. I don't know how to get there from here and it's crazy making to keep struggling so much every month, but I'm slowly seeing more traffic and more money.
- sushshshsh 6y agoCongratulations to you!! I hope that your efforts continue to bring you everything you hope for. For me, I think it is hard for me to monetize the content that I really enjoy producing. There's tangentially related things that would probably make a bit more money (native youtube ads, teaching, t shirts), but since I am fortunate enough to have a good day job, I am able to make the content available entirely for free, uninfluenced by profit motives. Life is just a big navigation of trade-offs, it seems.
