@atomicpoet Institutional journalists need to be paid. Fediverse doesn’t lend itself to that, so we need independent journalists.

Well, independent journalists need to be paid as well.

Co-ops and non-profits cannot compete with the likes of News Corp. or CNN. POST is experimenting with a micropayment scheme, where you can “tip” a content producer. As little as $0.01. You get to read an article instead of the whole newspaper.

It might work, but in the few months I have tried it, 😒
