      I still *really* don't understand why there isn't a digital wallet I can just load up and use to buy single articles from any major publication on the fly, zero friction. I'm not happy with paying $50-250/year for one pie when what I clearly want is a spread of slices.

      I've been waiting to fund this for so long. IIRC I may have even tried to talk the Airbnbs into doing it early in YC when I didn't like their idea yet.

          The hard part is getting started. The "major publications" will be the last to switch. You need to start with individual writers. And who knows, maybe by the time the major publications decide to switch, the individual writers will have superseded them anyway.

          A micropayment wallet backed by some cryptocurrency will go a long way for this. Granted this can be implemented without Crypto as well. I think that's what @brave is trying to implement in a way

          @Get_Agora just applied with - similar idea to YC, but got rejected 😢 (I realise there’s more to a startup than the idea. I also realise YC makes mistakes 😊)

          They were working on Airbnb at the time. It just wasn't growing yet.

          Someone could do this illegally quite easily. Subscribe, get customers, redistribute articles, and so on. Do you think someone who did this would get caught?
