I wouldn’t mind a pay per view model for general news Eg you see an interesting article on Lemmy that is behind a paywall but instead of having to subscribe to the NY times or whatever you can just pay 10c or so to read the specific article. ( To the news site directly not Lemmy) Needs to be low enough so the average punter doesn’t think twice to spend it. Quality journalism does need payment somehow and we are about to be swamped with garbage AI articles.

I would have considered subscribing to Apollo to access reddit through it for a reasonable cost but they have royally screwed any chance of that happening.

If Reddit starts charging for content they should pay their writers.

Unfortunately, they still have tons of useful idiots who will do it for free.
