#payperarticle — Public Fediverse posts

Was wurde eigentlich aus #Blendle?
"Ich glaube, die großen Verlage unterschätzen, wie sehr das", ein zumindest einheitliches eigenes Bezahlsystem, "in ihrem eigenen Interesse wäre – auch um eine Gegenposition zu großen Unternehmen wie Google oder Meta aufzubauen. Wenn man mehr kooperieren würde, könnte man ganz große Potenziale heben."

This thread from Twitter prompted this rant (very long... sorry) on a potential solution for media in terms of how they are funded. The pay-per-article model, despite being tested over the past decade, has not taken off. I'll give my view on why that is later in this thread, but new models of journalism and new social media technologies can provide hope.

@indieauthornews

I don't think he is any unique savior. Post.News is already doing this, just as one example.

Not to mention advertising-based publishing is soon threatened by big upcoming changes in search.

I actually DO think this is a big issue, I just think inflating Musk's already bloated ego by suggesting he is somehow showing the way or saving the day is not a good approach to talking about it. It sidetracks into hot button personality issues and misses the ubiquity of the scope and the number of other players exploring this.

See also some notes (at links below) that I wrote at post.news before I stopped blogging there about a different way to think about micropayments. (TL;DR Direct pay per article in advance is problematic. I'd rather pay ahead into a pool that later gets divvied out by formula tracking my use frequency and my decisions to highlight articles I ended up valuing.)

See "On the Managing of Micropayments" by me on Post at https://post.news/@/kentpitman/2JbqCKuASm6rIf6LjohMwlTFLRQ
and, in particular, the included post "A vision of Post subscriptions" by me on Post at https://post.news/@/kentpitman/2JYjq2hWQDI61IAPxJ8iwz4i4FZ

Wenn man‘s in der Branche nicht selbst macht und kontrolliert, machen‘s halt Leute wie der hier. Dazu mein Take von 2016: https://digitalpresent.tagesspiegel.de/neues-lesen #subscription #payperarticle
