Paid web 2.0 is already a reality
The appearance of the paid online consultation service uznai.ru was predicted three years ago when Answers.Mail.ru appeared. It was planned that people would help each other at no cost to find answers to any questions. Mail.ru service instantly turned into a place for flooding the puberty audience (here, for example, the last question at the time of publication of this post otveti.mail.ru/question/15467118 ), which should have happened to it.
It has always seemed to me that the expert is a busy, demanded person and he most definitely will not lose time giving free consultations in the framework of the “free content” paradigm of web 2.0. Experts value themselves and their time, they understand that time costs money. They do not have enough "salary" in the form of recognition of their own expertise by other members of the community or increase the user rating. But a mixture of rating (affecting income) and real money (for each consultation) is quite suitable for any expert in a particular area.
What I had to argue in the framework of the minisector "The secrets of creating niche communities" a month ago at KiB already comes true! Over the past month, this is the second project that fits well with the concept of “paid web 2.0”. The first project of this kind was gooroo.ru , which allows you to earn money, advising potential employers of candidacies of talented friends.

One can only guess in what sphere the next breakthrough of paid web 2.0 will happen. But reading the next flame in my RSS reader, I dream of a time when every material published by a user will be carefully screened out by other users (rating) and paid for through the site’s advertising revenue. After all, if the user wrote an interesting material, he drew visitors to the site and they, viewing ads, helped the site to make more money. And if a user earned money for a site, then why doesn't the site share revenues with it?
Maybe super gabr-2 will offer us a similar model?
