I can't subscribe to Pateron for every single website that I visit. It's just not practical. I'd be more than happy to shell out $100 per month to an aggregator if they could spread it out amongst 50+ websites that I visit in a month, but the only aggregator that does that with meaningful coverage is Google.
- DoreenMichele 3y agoLeave a one-time tip occasionally. It makes a difference.
- bcrl 3y agoAnd I do occassionally, but the vast majority of content I stumble upon in a given month doesn't have a Patreon option for support. Patreon is great for what it does, but it is most definitely not a low friction option to support random web content.
- DoreenMichele 3y agoThank you. Most people don't.
- zeven7 3y agoBrave is trying to do that, but yeah coverage is an issue. Blocking as is a start.
- JohnFen 3y agoBrave has connected the concept with cryptocurrency, though, right? That means that at least some people (or at least me) consider it a nonstarter.
- zamnos 3y agoIt's all about network effects, but how do you bootstrap an aggregator? I'm just waiting for substack to realize that $60/year for every writer is too much, and make a curated bundle of writing, reinventing the newsletter/magazine.
