Typically, content on the internet is monetized through subscriptions or advertisements. press.algo creates a new, more streamlined way to monetize content for creators. Every article on press.algo is available to read on a pay-per-view basis. Gone are the days of costly, recurring payments or intrusive advertisements. Here are the days of greater access to premium content, while only costing cents.
press.algo's first iteration of the platform is small, but effective. Users have all of the tools necessary to monetize their content, and support their favorite creators directly.
press.algo's potential is huge. Imagine a place where people could go on the internet to share value with one another. Where your articles, podcasts, and videos are shared and you earn every time your work is viewed. This would open up a new opportunity for skilled people from all over the world to earn for what they do, without having to jump through any major hoops, or deal with excessive fees or middlemen.
press.algo represents a new opportunity to earn on the internet. Using Algorand to manage transactions, press.algo leaps forward and is the first to lead the race. The low fees, high speeds, and programmability all make Algorand the perfect blockchain for a pay-per-view monetization system. No other platform uses Algorand in the way press.algo does, period.
press.algo is a one-of-a-kind vision. One that reinvents the way we use the internet. Instead of subscriptions ruling the land, it's pay-as-you-go, and you can access much more than before.
For example, let's say you have a couple of favorite creators, and they all have premium content. Instead of having to pay for each of those subscriptions, the creators could come to press.algo to post their premium content, and earn more per view of their work than they would anywhere else. In this scenario, you get to browse all of the premium content and select what you like from the bunch. This way, as a consumer you only pay for what you view, and as a creator you earn more for every view.
press.algo's vision represents a new dawn on the internet. One where Algorand is the backbone of everything that we do, and millions have an Algorand wallet. Goods and services are exchanged through quick, immutable transactions in a way never seen before in human history. press.algo is looking to be the use-case that brings this wider adoption.
In sum, press.algo redefines monetization. In a system only possible on Algorand, press.algo brings together the best aspects of blockchain to create a monetization platform for everyone to use. This is just the beginning, and press.algo has much distance to go.
