We need to make Ethereum subscriptions work. There& #39;s significant progress towards an implementation thanks to @owocki and crew, but we need someone to bring it over the finish line. A $25k grant exists as an incentive to complete this. https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/1337">https://github.com/ethereum/...
Ghost is open source, has membership functionality, and supports the addition of new payment options. It& #39;s a great initial target for a concrete working implementation of Ethereum subscriptions. https://ghost.org/docs/members/requirements/">https://ghost.org/docs/memb...
A big win of crypto subscriptions is that we could more easily create "dynamic newspapers" from networks of independent blogs.

Each subscriber sets a monthly budget, and then adds/subtracts people they want to support, like a Twitter list.
Why would crypto make this easier? Because it& #39;d be a simple standard that each blog could implement.

In a naive implementation, each blog proprietor could just paste an ETH/BTC address on their site to get subscriptions. A more privacy-preserving variant might require a plugin.
