    Wow, Wired just disappeared off my radar screen. (Or from their POV, they set up a paywall.)pic.twitter.com/sSWMSEyFpF

        @paulg serious question; how should content creators get paid, if not via ad clicks or paywalls?

        @paulg isn't $1 a micropayment? esp if you cancel the subscription immediately? Major problem for content creators, I don't have the answer

        @bradydan Many publications deliberately make it hard to cancel. Some you have to phone.

        @paulg it should certainly be easier to opt in and out. Do you know of any examples of successful micropayment content sites?

        @paulg People want content but don't want to pay, then there are ads. Don't want either? What's the alternative where writers get paid?

        .@JHanlon @0xF2 to many visitors, content is worth more than 0 but nowhere near its attn/$ price. right or wrong, visiting's useless /@paulg

        .@0xF2 @JHanlon nothing. the $1/wk mkt is smaller than Wired wishes, yet value to the user ($1/mo?) isn't profitable. Wired & @paulg move on

        @troyd @0xF2 @JHanlon @paulg it's dumb because the value is intermittent and spiky (and also unknown) and the pricing is constant value >0

        @gregcohn @troyd @JHanlon @paulg what we need is an HTTP GET header that pays the recipient a minuscule fraction of a Bitcoin.

        @0xF2 @troyd @JHanlon @paulg an ad-blocker plug-in would certainly be a useful launch pad for a federated micropayments-to-publishers model

        @paulg how do you expect the @WIRED journalists to make a living without the ads that help pay their salaries? #wired #adblockers
