That would keep the Mighty Click Count to a minimum, and that is what the advertisers pay for. For the advertisers, the topic doesn't matter only the eyeballs. And controversial topics get more participation and eyeballs. We had this conversation 15 years ago and I am sure Baron did the math and came to the conclusion this is the way to riches. Just like any other platform...

I have thought through it. It would not work. Baron's model is based on advertiser income. To add a subscription model would reduce click-thrus, because it would reduce viewership. There is another trading site that does this, but they have been doing it for decades. And you get the usual gestapo nonsense on free speech for your money. Baron is better off with the advertiser model...Fuck those other guys...Click Baron's advertiser ads. There's music for this. End of line.
