What makes sense to me are "crowdwalls" - content gets unlocked FOR EVERYONE as soon as X sats are paid. All or nothing. Like kickstarter.

Everything else doesn't make sense to me. Article paywalls? Laughable. Screenshots will circulate for the good stuff. Bad stuff will stay behind paywalls with effectively zero readers.

Paywalls artificially restrict reach. Against the design of computers and the internet.

I don’t know if that is any better. I feel like once it’s unlocked people will stop paying.

I do like crowd funding for future projects like music. I’ve supported several bands over the years that were self producing and self releasing albums.

Even after unlocking if the quality pf the content is high people will continue to „tip“

I can see “crowdwalls” working great in porn. Paid members can get access to new content by paying, non-paid folks get to see old content. Seeing the old content will give them the confidence to pay for the new stuff (they’ll know they’ll like it).

It’s also awesome for news… I see articles all the time on a Apple News that are for paid members that I want to read. It would be better if I could read them after they’re “old”.
