Gregory's Server@textfiles Liked this, but serious question. What alternatives are there for news orgs to make money and pay their staff other than instituting paywalls? Back in the day, I never begrudged newspapers or magazines for charging for subscriptions.

@akamran @textfiles OK, Agreed. In theory, I wouldn't care about ads one way or the other, but they're currently so incredibly intrusive, and the invasion of privacy with the "user as the product" advertising mechanics should not be something a paying subscriber is subjected to. @marlinspike @textfiles Do it like the old times. Take payment for todays articles so that paying members se them "a day early". |
@marlinspike @textfiles either have subscriptions OR have ads. Not both. Furthermore, serve your own damn ads. No third parties.
