 Ok, but I'm still not able to verify that @Vitor Pamplona really said that.
🤷 
 Doesn't matter imho, as long as someone can verify.

 (not trying to discourage development btw, not at all. Just sharing my thoughts as most people haven't thought about these issues deeply yet, and I'm convinced there are better alternatives. In the end the users/market will decide.)  
 There's two different things:

1- keeping information behind a paywall.
2- keeping the verification to some people 

OnlyFans success shows us that #1 works <well enough> for people to spend some sats to climb those paywalls.
We know that information could be broadcasted to the world, but still nowadays OnlyFans is a thing.

@Vitor Pamplona 's proposal allows to implement #1 well enough, and even adding #2 to it. 
 Yeah, that's fine. 

#1 is basically patronage plus early access, which is fine. But the good OnlyFans content is accessible for free to all eventually, as to my point. 

What I'm trying to say is that I believe there is a better model than artificially restricting access to information. But again, I'm all for this kind of experimentation. Time will tell.  
 We'll see how this space evolve!

Let's hope for the future to be decentralised 🫂 
 I think there are use cases for both. Let's implement everything and see who wins :) 

 
 There are numerous implementation cases of subscriptions, different effects can be desired and achieved: early access, exclusive access (Gigi's point is valid), nft-like bragging rights, certification of origin. Or simply allowing people to vote with their sats and support a cause/person on a regular basis, whatever the perks.

There's so much more good than challenges that come from this.
There needn't be one implementation only. 
 I'm in this camp. I believe value for value has it's use cases and believe subscriptions have their use cases too. One model may not be the best for a particular use case. We won't know until we try it.
