How to pay to authors or subscription to Habr
The topic “How to pay authors” was completely unexpected for me, led to a thought / idea.
I'll start from afar. Many regularly buy newspaper magazines, despite the 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 the advertising revenue model. But on specialized and, accordingly, low-visited, 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 of Habr about 1500 people. 1500 * 50 = 75000 rub / month. or about $ 2800. If the fee is higher, then the income is greater. Some part of the audience will be scared away, of course. Further, you can discuss how much access should be and for what kind of material to take money (for all, or only for a part, whether to open access after some time), whether the payment depends on karma, etc. A part of the money received will go to the authors . We can continue to discuss this topic.
Your opinion is very interesting, I ask you not to immediately put cons on the material, but to take part in the discussion.
