“ongoing by Tim Bray · Subscription Friction”

Yet another micropayments proposal. Tech people: the reasons why micropayments don’t work are psychological and socioeconomic, not technical. Google “penny gap” for background.

@baldur it's somewhat funny. I just watche publishing folks at the frankfurt bookfair raving that paywalls work again (then pointing to NYT and WaPo because of course your publication will be the same as those two, amiright?)

@pkra Hah! Yeah. A lot of people really haven't thought the 'subscriptions everywhere!' scenario through.
