Yeah, I read about their plans to have a paywall set up for exclusive content and I feel that would be a further addition in your funnel as a content creator. That way the model has 3 options, once-off, subscription and then paywalled/purchased/exclusive content
Give the creators what they need to go out there and earn their keep and they'll bring the audiences with them
This is also one of the features LBRY has already. All stuff that Steem CAN do, but nobody has gone and done.
Well all we can do is bring these ideas forward and see if they take or not, both are sound models and I'm sure more people will see the value in it. Perhaps worth creating an SPS for it
