Pirates cannot be stopped. But subscription services have demonstrated that when something is relatively well priced and easy to use many do not bother with piracy.
Price of access can be greatly reduce for a whole lot of publishing industries if the leeches are ejected from the chain and all that users are left to pay for is the real value.
But when you introduce a social aspect of sharing with payments (especially one tap payments) people won’t bother subscribing
My point in the note was let’s accomodate all distribution models and let creators, infrastructure and users decide what is their favorite approach. I don’t feel I can talk for all of them at this stage. 😅
subscription for content could have its place in the BTC economy. They offer the advantage of budgeting media consumption.
