>The majority of internet users are either unwilling or unable to pay for content

Except for Spotify, News subscriptions, videogame subscriptions, video streaming services, duolingo, donations, gofundmes, piracy services!, clothing and food subscriptions! etc etc

People pay $10 for a new fortnite skin. You really pretending they won't pay for content?

People were willing to pay for stuff on the internet even when you could only do so by calling someone up and reading off your credit card number and just trusting a stranger.

Meanwhile, the norm until cable television for "free" things like news was that you either paid, or you went to the library to read it for free.

Maybe people could visit libraries more again.
