Blendle was the bom.

Alexander sold it to a big French conglomerate and now you just buy a subscription via them. The old model of pay-per-view is dead once again.

Although, it’s alive and kicking on the new decentralised social media platform of Nostr. It’s called “zapping” and it’s great fun when you get a few cents for a quote, meme or even a re-share of a good post that you dug up ;-)

The subscription model happened before the sale; Blendle wasn't profitable. News conglomerates like DPG Media leaving the platform to set up their own payment plans also didn't help. I think it would've succeeded here had the news industry not collapsed into a few megacompanies.
