What if they charged money? Is it something you'd pay for?
I'd pay for it, but only if they implemented the changes the community of users have been requesting for years.
I wonder if there would be concern on their part about appearing to be a company that was basically offering paywall circumvention as a product.
I was thinking the same thing... paid access for high volume users or scrapers could actually help fund the non-profit. Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it. If news and other sites were getting paid, maybe they could go back to optimizing for good content instead of clicks.
