Hmmmm.

Frankly I think the best model is the tip jar. A system where a button is available at the end of each article so if the reader is satisfied with the product a click would deposit $0.25 into an account or transfer that sum from a pre-established account.

I read any amount of online dross not worth the time of discarding and there’s nothing that’ll force me to pay for that crud.

But I have read interesting, informative and useful articles that I would have rewarded the author if I can and have when possible.
