So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

How did bookwriting monasteries sustain themselves in the medieval ages?

I think that newspapers should be surprisingly similar to that.

    You're gonna have to explain yourself because I'm not sure collecting rents and tithes and recieving gifts from pious nobles is that great a business plan.

  • eh i don't have the energy to explain it rn in full detail but let's say at the least i think that literature (of all sorts) should be a non-profit thing, not written for profit. and monasteries were the closest to a non-profit thing that you could get in the medieval ages.
