I was going to subscribe to Evan Prodromou's new premium account but realised this is not Value 4 Value. This is the old web model of pay me every month even if I offer no value. Me paying Evan would be a leap of faith to believe he will deliver me $5 or more value. Now Evan may well do that but in a Value 4 Value model I would pay Evan what I wanted to based on me valuing his content and then only paying for what I consume. This is one reason why ActivityPub needs to support SATs.
I want V4V without crypto and automatic based on consumption. I set a monthly amount in my bank that I am comfortable with and via player apps and open protocol techno magic, the money gets distributed based on time reading, listening and watching. once this works, the fight becomes to make more people embrace it with enough money collectively that every creator supports it. goodbye all corporate platform middlemen (and their advertisers) like Netflix and Spotify etc.
