And my authors will keep writing because they want to write. I will also keep donating them money but it's not enough for them to go full time.

- Valakas_ 4y agoWorld 1: zero copyright infringement. Everyone pays. No one pirates. More people write books. (as will be more money in it) World 1.1 Pays your bills. Doesn't make you rich. More crappy books. More high quality books. World 1.2 Can make you rich. Many people will write purely for financial reasons. Some people will be doubly motivated - financial and professional success. They can focus solely on their area of interest, and creating content for it knowing they can also achieve financial success with it. More books written by companies. More crappy books. More high quality books. World 2: Not one person on earth pays. Every single book has to be for free. The fewest books produced. Hobbyists or retired people only. People will write for passion. Not necessarily the most qualified people. World 3: Somewhere in between (our world) In-between. Look at youtube which is close to world 1.2. There certainly is a TON of crappy content. However, there's also very high quality, professionally produced content in there. No financial incentive means few of those high quality ones would be there.
