Everyone bemoans ad-financing, but everyone loves aggregators (including Hacker News), and aggregators and paywalls generally don't mix.
- BizarroLand 5y agoI think you would want to create a federated members only collection of websites, pay a few hundred influencers to move their base of operations into the collective, and then set and keep the annual subscription so low that the cost isn't prohibitive to 80% of the potential audience. Ad free reddit, youtube, twitter, and the like, all populated only by people who paid to be there and not an ad or corporate sponsor in site except within a walled garden of delights (for the influencers)? I'd pay $10 a month for that.
