I have been thinking about the future since I listened to that Planet Money podcast.

If I was a middling level blogger, I would try to get a few other bloggers to join in a "federation" of sorts, where viewers can subscribe and then the profit is shared among the bloggers. This seems like a way to attract a lot of viewers and offer a wide range of content for price. It would be easier for me, as a reader, to pay if I knew I was getting access to a large range of blogs opposed to just a single blog.
