Ask HN: How much would you pay to use HN?
Obviously, a community site like HN is a real boon for so many many people, developers, designers and artists. Hell, even a lot of online 'publications' are dependent on sites like HN (Eg. Techcrunch, Gizmodo, steal 90% of the stuff in here and sell it). So I was just wondering, if you had the opportunity to 'pay to use' a site like HN, where all the top news is right infront of you, with all the valuable insights, perspectives and feedback, how much would you pay to use a service like this?
I'm not going to work on it, I'm just curious to see if people would really pay to stay updated, these days. Especially when you have free 'feed-based' systems like Facebook doing a good job too.
Thanks
