Right 😂 And it only takes one person subscribing and resharing something publicly to break the perceived benefit/protection of paywalling it. At that point subscribers are merely those who like your content enough to support you anyway, which is the essence of v4v. The difference is that paywalling decreases the reach of your content, your voice, whereas v4v increases it. As an artist I want more people, not fewer, to see/hear my stuff. This doesn’t mean we do everything for free. It just means we recognize the nature of content distributed in digital formats and so we find ways to monetize it that work with its nature, rather than trying to impose artificial limitations on it.
