Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them

Would love to see a co-op model spring up where views on sites like Lemmy generate revenue for publications without the click. I.E. pay $1 a month to a shared fund that’s distributed by percentage.

That would require us to pay for Lemmy, right? Or how do you mean? Where would the money come from, sort of?

Yup. Or perhaps pay into features, like full-page content inside the post. I.e. offset the revenue of the click. Oddly enough, that model would replace ads, too.
