“Information wants to be free.”

Sure, but even if you want to read the 2000 year old text that has been replicated more than any other text… it still has web servers, publishers, apps, etc. that have be paid for by *someone*.

Pretty much no information has been commodified like the Bible and yet you someone still has to pay for it! Lightning paywalls for content align incentives.

You need to account for acquisition costs though. How rare or unique is that information that the buyer can’t find it (or a substitute) for free elsewhere? Lightning reduces friction which offers convenience, but that doesn’t add value to the information.
