IMHO our democracy depends upon economic realities that depend upon technology, and that scares me. It is a noble and important thing to support MoJo by subscribing, however the reality of the situation is that it is not easy for them to be paid for their work. The current state of technology does not intrinsically support their business because some important barriers to entry have been flattened. I hope that we can get from 'here' to 'there' on a bridge of people doing the right thing and preserving what is good against the economic grade. Maybe micropayments enabled by value transfer protocols like blockchains will help us get there. I'm not sure. But if something doesn't, hello feudalism.
