[Sigia-l] Who here is paying for content?
I'd like to hear from people who actually pay for content on the Internet.
In what form? Subscriptions, micropayments, per-piece payments? For fun or
business?
The only purchases I recall this past year were a single NY Times archived
article (which wasn't worth the $2 or $3 I spent), a Harvard Business Review
article (which was worth $5 I spent), and a couple of Consumer Reports car
buying invoices that were worth many times the $12 cost for each one. How
about you?
I am interested in your actual experience with paying for content, not
opinions about it. Please start a separate thread if you want to deal in
opinions. Thanks - Kathleen

More Internet users are showing a willingness to pay for content online,
according to a survey of cyberspending patterns released on Wednesday. ...
which also shows that a relative handful of businesses benefit from these
purchases and that advertising remains the overwhelming source of income for
supporting digital content.
