That's a great question.
Two things here:
1. The reader view only displays publicly available web content (it is made available to search engines and any public web client. We render through an anonymous proxy to protect user privacy.
2. We will share revenue with any media organization that wishes to partner with us from paid plans, and we hope that many will offer higher levels of paywall content (not publicly available) to Andi users.
Micro-payments never worked out for media companies. And no one will subscribe to every site on the web. We hope to offer a way for media companies to share in search revenue. Google and Facebook took away their revenue and leave media and content producers with the crumbs left over. Our model is to share any revenue from paid plans 50/50 with content makers. We are only a 2-person team in alpha right now, but we'e already talked to contacts in media and they are incredibly supportive of what we are doing. Media companies hate Google and what they did to quality journalism and democracy.
- boplicity 5y ago>publicly available web content What are you talking about? You don't have the right to steal our intellectually property and publish it on your website. Full stop. That's exactly what you're doing. > We will share revenue with any media organization Oh great, so first you steal our property, then we have to beg you for a portion of the money you make from it. No thanks. > Micro-payments never worked out for media companies. And no one will subscribe to every site on the web. Why are you blathering on about failed business models? We have a perfectly good business model. However, our business model doesn't fit with people stealing our intellectual property. Please, just stop.
