Very aptly put. But its our fault as we don't want to pay for content online.


Most online content is too small/short to be worth paying an amount of money that would be worth the transaction.


A lot of content such as clickbait/etc actually has negative value and only works because ad impressions pay before the content has been seen and can't be clawed back even if the content ends up being garbage.


If there would only be a way to reward people for good content.
