Mash (now defunct) did this.
No one wants this afaict. I don't even want paywalls. I tolerate them because there's no better way to fight free riding, but I certainly don't want to pay per page of a book, or per scroll of a webpage, or per minute of a video.
What I want:
- good content
- creators to be paid, so in the future I will get good content
In no way, do I want to be charged per page.
What creators want:
- to get paid for producing content
They do not want to be paid per page afaict.
So, who wants to pay per page? If you, the reader, do, I'd ask:
- How many substacks/patreons are you subscribed to?
- How many sats have you streamed podcasters this month?
- How many geyser funds have you contributed to?
If the answer is 0, I'd guess you'd pay for 0 pages too.
