      Pay per article and dynamic pricing at that. This way important articles may be read by all. This model will also generate distribution influencers. For example I will pay and read an article referred by Paul Graham.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1219911533070897153 …

      One novel consequence of the new paywall model of journalism is that only your subscribers even see your articles. It used to be that when an important article was published in a national newspaper, everyone concerned had read it. Now only subscribers have.

      That is actually an interesting idea. A class of curators would emerge.

      I also liked @VitalikButerin's idea (from @BitcoinMagazine) of "article ransoms": unavailable until a fixed total amount is collectively paid.

      I feel tempted to try building that just to see whether the UX is palatable. (And even more tempted to suggest @gwern try it on a piece in the upcoming queue, preferably setting the ransom higher than seems reasonable.)

          Why wouldn't it be palatable? You could probably even automate most of the process using smart contracts on Ethereum.

          Its kind of crazy that the better your article gets the less money you get though. (an article read 1000x taps out at the same as a mediocre one with a lower pay).
