My plan1: add a payment gate to my blogposts.
I did it. First 1000 characters are free, then you have to pay $0.01 to see the rest.
In my mind, this was exactly what everybody should want to do. Especially in the age of AI, a little bit of friction goes a long way. And blockchain blockchain blockchain solves this!
A few hours later, all I can think is that I just guaranteed nobody will ever read my 1,001'st character again. There's an infinite number of internet randos that are more interesting, for less. If only I was more humble about the value of my writing being above $0.01, I wouldn't have spent that time having AI build it.
