How to pay authors or subscribe to Habr
The topic "How to pay authors" quite unexpectedly for me, suggested the idea / idea.
I'll start from afar. Many regularly buy magazines, newspapers, despite the presence of a large amount of information on the Internet. And everyone agrees that you need to pay for quality material, whether we like it or not. Content sites almost always use an advertising revenue model. But on specialized and, accordingly, seldom attended, it is not always applicable. Contextual advertising also does not always work. So why not subscribe to the material. Suppose a small fee of 50 rubles per month. Active users Habr about 1500 people . 1500 * 50 = 75,000 rubles / month. or about $ 2,800. If the fee is more, then the income is more. Some part of the audience will scare it away, of course. Then you can discuss how much access should be available and for which material to take money (for all, or only for a part, whether to open access after some time), whether the charge depends on karma, etc. Some of the money received will go to the authors . You can continue to talk about this topic.
Your opinion is very interesting, please do not immediately put cons on the material, but take part in the discussion.
