>>7802779I think we're a bit stuck on semantics so let's ground it a bit. "Paywalling" is a bit too broad since we're using it in the context of both Holos and piracy and those are pretty different ecosystems. There's nothing wrong with wanting money for your work and depending on the situation you should definitely seek it, no one should have to work for free. But aggressively trying to keep content away from nonpayers is a waste of effort and almost certainly harmful in the long run.
What I do believe is only a negligible fraction of takodachi, if any, membered to Ina because they wanted to see the paywalled content. And Ina herself doesn't like paywalling her content much, she's said it herself on many occasions. She even experimented with releasing the member-only stream as a vod later just recently.
