@dansup Besides that, #flattr did solve the #Monetarization problem ages ago...

• It was the closest to a "#CultureFlatrate" in praxis...

Sadly they shut down, and their closest competitior, #kachingle basically got #MemoryHoled by the internet...

@lauren @mark we already have solutions for that like #Kachingle, #flatrr and just a general #donation button regardless if #PayPal, #Monero, #Stripe or whatever...

@funcrunch @medium @coachtony I still think that #Flattr, #Kachingle, #PayPal, #Patreon or just selling good work directly without #DRM (just let me pay via #SMS) is way more convenient.

@valkyrie Exactly the same as with #BigMedia which out of snobbish Elitism rather wants to #Paywall shit with asshole-level #Subscriptions rather than improve content quality and switch to #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle or even single-article purchases...

@GreenFire imagine if :activitypub: instance would offer such tiers via :patreon: , #flattr, #kachingle or :paypal: like the "priority queue" on 2b2t.

One thing we've to also account for is that #TwitterBlue and #TwitterGold are the only ways to get #API restrictions lifted, and I'm quite convinced major news outlets like @heiseonline or @ntv got those #GoldBadges for free as they would've likely threatened to quit #Twitter if they can't continue to use their toolchain to post stuff...

@shipp @EposVox ...because #YouTube knows that #ChannelMemberships will keep #BigChannels on their platform and not leave it as easily as if they used #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle or any other Off-Platform - Crowdfunding instead...

@rocrym @badtux @MattHodges

There are several options for that, like #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle and single-purchase articles that can be paid via #SMS and #PayPal or even #Monero...

Seriously, none of these options is new...

@raphaelmorgan ever heard of #Patreon, #Flattr or #Kachingle?

@walsonde @tarnkappeinfo +9001%

besonders wichtig sind Werkzeuge wie https://12ft.io/ für jene ewiggestrigen Medien die sich verweigern #Patreon, #Kachingle, #Flattr oder auch nur #SMS-Billing für Einzelartikelkäufe umzusetzen!

@SporkPeter @riffreporter #Einzelkauf ist IMHO die fairste option wenn #Flattr, #Kachingle und #Patreon abgelehnt werden...

@chrisheuer @escapadesrpg @TomLarrow

And since that doesn't prevent me from reading it on my device of choice, I prefer that.

So it's big corporate media's intentional choice to patronize and annoy potential customers with shitty #DRM and bs. payment methods that are more inconvenient that buying a #printed variant.

Same with websites: Instead of ads and tracking, they could just use #flattr, #kachingle & #Patreon like everyone else.

@chrisheuer @TomLarrow Yes and No.

I think it's big & established mainstream medias' unwillingness to rethink monetarization and do what most modern creators do:
Use better options like #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle & Co.

Even worse: #digital is usually offered at worse terms than #paper just out of spite:
I can buy a newspaper once and keep the copy ad-inifinitium but oftentimes they dark-pattern users into subscriptions that cost more than a print copy!

@ttk Ich finde #Abozwang allzuoft shice weil's kein #Mehrwert bringt.

Statt #Abos, #Paywall & #Loginwall sollten auch traditionelle Modelle Lösungen wie #Patreon, #Kachingle, #Flattr & Co. nutzen oder einen genauso bequemen #Einmalkauf anbieten wie die Printausgabe.

Also #digital konsequent billiger als #print mit der Option auf #Einzelkauf der #Artikel - natürlich alles #DRM-frei als #ePub & #PDF!

[können ja zur Not jene Seiten watermarken um Piraterie zu verfolgen!]

@DanielLuecking @ndaktuell möglichst barrierearm. #Patreaon, #Flattr, #Kachingle und andere Spendenoptionen kommen gut.

Und wenn #Paywalling, dann bitte #bequem und einfach (Einzelkauf der Digitalausgabe z.B. per #SMS)...

#Abozwang ist nen #Downgrade zu gedruckter Ausgabe!

@lilischote yay!

Irgendwas wie #Patreon / #flattr / #kachingle wo Mensch nen Daumen nach oben geben kann?

@LorenzMeyer *nickt zustimmend*

Seiten mit #AdblockerBlocker sind eine Pest und verdienen die Pleite.

Sollen's gefälligst lernen #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle & Co. zu nutzen wie #SmallCreators es seit Jahren tun...

@DaemonFC Personally, I refuse to use sites with #Paywalls out of priciple.

If #creators on #Twitter, #YouTube, #Twitch & Co. can use modern #Monetarization [aka. #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle, ...] then those big media should not be allowed to be sloppy...

https://12ft.io is the best #AntiPaywall ever...

Also I've yet to see any #Quality #NewsSite that forces shit upon me and nags me for denying #Cookies, #JavaScript & #Notifications...

@stux any #Patreon / #Flattr / #Kachingle / ... one can donate to?
