#3im not sure this is a good idea (as a consumer) anything which injects extra buying decisions in my life seems like a bad idea. Imagine having to wonder if I really wanted to spend that 0.01 cents on the next page of popular mechanics or not. I'd rather pay more for say, unlimited monthly access

I can just imagine; try contributor once, get drowned in invasive ads because you've already shown you're willing to pay for less ads.

Hey, do you remember that time when people thought Google would never do any sketchy or annoying stuff to their users ? That's now so far away...

#7You can use pihole or pyhole to just block them for your home, then vpn from your phone. No more ads.
Then buy subscription to sites you like.
Dont give google a percentage of everything.

#8Good idea, extremely poor execution. Nobody is going to want to use it if different sites are charging you different amounts per page. People want predictable bills.

#9Remember when we were sold that ads payed for content so that could be free? Now you can pay extra to get ads anyway, the non Google networks don't care.
The web is turning into cable, and it only took a few years.

#10So, this is kinda like Blendle, but for the open web. I'm not too sure if this'll fly.
Personally, there's a certain flinch, a certain decision before opening any article in Blendle as I evaluate if it's worth the price mentioned. I'm sure the same will manifest itself, perhaps in uglier forms if I set out to use Contributor. Do you guys think so?
