I don’t see how this is different from having Stripe easily available to any web developer. I want this feature, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to add it to every website I build. I think of it as Stripe pay wall at infrastructure level rather than a JavaScript popup. If we look at NYT, WP, many already do this. But HuffPost and Reddit rely on different models. I don’t think this will make the internet less open, I think the internet is already pretty much less open. Who blogs these days for free? They rely on medium or substack, and have no choice, they submit to these platforms rules about the articles they write, even though they’re pretty generous. Now, if the reward system was as open as say, Bitcoin, I think there would be a lot more independent and different bloggers and journalists, and independent platforms.
