Have you thought about a LN paywall version? Pay sats to read each article…… I remember nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy used to have it on one of his sites. Was a mind blowing experience being able to pay sats to read a single essay.

Could be a helpful additional revenue/sharing mechanism. Wordpress has a plug-in.
