So just to be clear:

1. You are taking money directly from customers 2. To serve content that you do not have the right to sell access to.

> If we had paying subscribers that were reading your content and we reached out to you

That sounds like a lot of ifs. It sounds like you're making money directly off access to my content which makes me deeply uncomfortable. If you reach out to me, and you're unsuccessful in contacting me, you're still making money directly off my content whether I chose to monetize it or not.

1. Yes. This is the plan.

2. No. We are not serving content. The user's device makes a GET request to your server and you serve the content. Readup just displays the metadata and a link to the article just like reddit or Hacker News.
