That’s fine, isn’t it? They want money, I want information. If the information is worth it, I pay.




> If the information is worth it, I pay.

So it's up to you to decide if the information is worthy? After already seeing that information? And you promise you will forget that information after not liking it and not paying for it?


You can ask for payment before showing the information.


I see how it could be read like this, but this is not what I meant to imply.

It's of course classic upfront payment. I realize this only works for larger articles. For news feeds a subscription would probably work better.

This will probably lead to market consolidation over time, but that's capitalism.
