@killyourfm I would love, if I could award authors a humble donation post reading.
Let's say, one button click (and confirm) and 0.10€ goes to the author (minus operational costs). With 10 000 reads, where article brought value to reader, author could earn 1000€ per article if everybody donated.
Or, custom value, i.e. 1€ for article that truly helped me in something.
Or, pick maybe humorous 0.01€ just to reward the effort, signal I like something about it, but not good enough yet.
@killyourfm this would also motivate people to write valuable articles, where people feel like reward is earned.
Not click-bait articles, lots of popular hate speech in politically correct language, etc... With tons of ads around.
