hmm I aggree to some extent - it is not easy to maintain income from publishing. But it could be a part of the story, that a certain reward should be reached before releasing the next chapter even though that is undermining the Idea a bit. As I see it, the worst hurdle is the 7 days limit - but perhaps the author needs to think of a special type of story, that fits into the model? I just thought it could make more young people read some more - not just articles from journalists that are always political in some way.
