- prmoustache 10mo agoIt really depends, there are so many peoole who just don't want more than a couple subscriptions. The subscriptiin model only favor the giants like netflix, spotify and NYTimes but not necessarily the smaller players.
- wolvoleo 10mo agoIt's only extra money for them because I'm never ever going to subscribe a monthly sub to a site I read one or two articles a month from. So they're not losing anything from me, only gaining. It's basically free money. Right now I use archive.ph because I can but if I couldn't (if they make it a hard block) I would just ignore links to said outlet. I sub to a few outlets which I read daily. But I couldn't possibly sub to every single outlet I see a link from. And I wouldn't anyway. However if I could click '€0.50 to read this article' then yeah I would if it seemed interesting. Especially real journalism, not reuters copy/paste. And for a regular reader who reads said site daily, it still makes sense to take out a 10-20 bucks a month sub. Still cheaper than paying per read.
