#microsubscriptions
Normalise microsubscriptions - I don’t want to pay $150 for an entire year’s worth of access to your website. I just want to read a couple of articles. More than happy to reimburse you for the work but $150 for one or two articles is insane!

Yeah, I am one too, and yet you can’t get people to read what they cannot access. I don’t understand why publishers don’t offer microsubscriptions for a single article or a day pass.

I also thought micropayments could have been a way to sell microsubscriptions. Buy $3 worth of credits and get 20 articles a month from New York Times instead of just ten free ones or something like that. There was not enough marketing and the marketing there was was not to the right audience.

Microsubscriptions. Keep it low key and community focused as long as possible to stave off the Enshitification.
