Given it doesn't seem to work all that well, I wouldn't be worried. There have been many attempts to federate paywalls but the publishers will never play ball.

- _tom_ 4y agoIf it starts making money, publisher will put in the effort to block it. It's not a viable business.
- nkozyra 4y agoThe federated paywall ideas were supposed to work with publishers. They'd go to media company A and sell them something and when they negotiated with company B the requirements were completely different or they wanted different revenue shares, etc. It was a pretty common startup idea in the early to mid 00s.
