Dave Morin calls the trend: Goodbye (free) Blog. Hello (paid) Letter
Pay $3.99/month for premium quality?
Subscription plans seem so much hassle, what I’d really like is to pay for attention. Valuing attention could be as simple as a cell phone plan that charges by the second based on how many other people recommend the content.
Spending attention would properly compensate the Dave Morin for Premium Content, but not lock me into a subscription.
