I like readability and their idea that profit should go back to the publisher. But they never really tell you how this is suppose to work. As far as I can tell, each publisher has to register with readability to see any money. Clearly not "web scale" :)
- stdbrouw 15y agoActually, most bigger publishers and quite a few bloggers are already signed up with Readability, because it's just set-and-forget. Also: "Yes, Readability keeps track of the last twelve months of pages visited even before a publisher registers with us to view their statistics. If your site has garnered traffic to Readability, we're already earmarking money for you."
- gizzlon 15y agoCool, but how do you know who signed up?
