- frik 11y agoI would like that the Web stays at it is.
- JadeNB 11y agoBut you seem to argue against the culture of the web the way it currently is, which, whatever the morality of it (I use blockers with abandon!), includes both pushy, aggressive ads and ad blockers.
- Aissen 11y agoIn fact, this exists. It's called Flattr.
- chc 11y agoFlattr is a donation model, not a subscription model. Donation models are much less lucrative in general than nearly anything else because you can just forget to donate after reading. This is why Exhibit A for the donation revenue model is non-profits.
