I'm going to take a moment to pitch an experimental service / pet project on my back burner. I call it "the hourly drip". Its a content feed, but you have to pay to post content. I know that sounds like a feed of pure advertisement but here's the catch: the price of posting is algorithmically adjusted to keep the rate of new posts fixed at an average of 1 per hour. In other words, the pricing mechanism isn't about profit (in fact, its bad at maximizing profits). Rather, its a form of quality filter that reduces the feed down to a digestible amount of content per day.
