It doesn't have to be a subscription, you can have a "wallet" that users add to periodically in increments of $10 or something. Blendle was a service like this, you made a single smallish purchase to add money to your wallet and then slowly spent ~25 cents per article until you needed to top up again.
- carlosjobim 4y agoYes, I think a system like this is the future. I also think whoever pulls it off successfully has to understand that they are not supposed to be editors or see their mission as trying to bundle established media, since the most interesting content creators right now are people way outside the "mainstream".
- jefftk 4y agoThere are a lot of issues with this, but a big one is that this has a dependency on cross-site tracking: Blendle or whoever needs to learn the sites you visit so they can decrement your wallet. And all the browsers are working on making cross-site tracking technologically impossible.
