Bitcoin itself is possibly one of the first exceptions to that.

We could see more opportunities for distributed services to be monetized in similar ways. It needs to be done carefully, as there's a strong bias against "pre-mined" schemes.

Read up on DAO/DACs if you're interested ("Decentralized/Digital Autonomous Corporations/Organizations" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Autonomous_Corporation https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Distributed_Autonomous_Community_...). It's still mostly theoretical stuff, but Ethereum, ProtoShares, etc are working on these ideas.
