Threads So Good You'd Pay to See Them?

[wry]

I recently saw a couple of threads: one asking for more for pay per post ( https://forum.stake.com/topic/16265-possibility-of-revising-the-way-stake-pay-for-our-valued-comments/ ); and one on spamming versus contributing on the forum ( https://forum.stake.com/topic/16054-difference-between-spam-and-very-active/ ) and it got me thinking.

The key basis for economics is that price regulates the balance between supply and demand.  Stake is essentially subsidizing the creation of content on this forum (thank you Stake!) by paying us to create and comment on threads.  But this raises an interesting idea, is there anything you've seen on the Stake Forum that is so good you'd pay your own satoshi to read it?  Let's exclude contests and challenges since those are done by mods and support and paying to see them would me more of an investment. 

If you have, please link it!  I'd be interested to see what the community values.

If there isn't a thread so awesome that you'd pay someone else to see it, what is the best or most valuable thread or post you yourself have created?

I have a bad feeling compared to what we would pay, Stake is massively overpaying for our contributions here (including mine) so thanks again Stake!

Oh, and just to get things started, here's my best thread IMO:

Well generally no one would pay anything just to read an article but here is the catch if its on like for eg. How to make netflix trial accounts every month free then they would surely pay for it. There should be something that the user should get if they do pay for it in my opinion.

Paying to view posts kind of reminds me of Medium, where monthly subscriptions are required to view premium content! 

However, in Stakeforums the value of content is generally lower (due to focus as a gambling forum) and as such, I’d doubt any content would ever be pay-to-view...

I can't say that I would. 

I would pay for access to a subforum though. It depends on the forum. I'd be happy to pay for access to subforums like Report a Scammer on Sythe, or the giveaway forum here. I think it would be worth the payment long term.

This pay per post isnt really to put worth on the posts, its mainly a generous giving by the site for contributing. Its more like a tip then a payment, but nonetheless I would not waste time trying to abuse the system. They arent idiots and dont hand out money willy nilly, i think Stake forum staff has done a great job in maintaining the forums quality. 

Oh but as far as having seen anything really good, Im not sure if id go as far as say id personally pay to see any of them.

Wry you are actually quite enjoyable- overall. I would say you fall in the "should get a million bucks for being so cool" category. 

That is probably why they don't have me running things around here though, because I would be raining all day!  lol 

I am biased, when it comes to the one and only Wry. Can you blame me? 

I would pay "a tidy sum" to read your thoughts.

Thank you very much @Lillyflow and @Furlicious for the very kind words!  I really appreciate them and it means a lot to me that some of my posts meet the pay to see hurdle.

Since you are a professional write @Lillyflow I'd be especially interested to see what you think your best post is here!  Also, I doubt raining all day would be a bad thing!

Thanks also to the other commenters, but I really was serious about being curious about what you thought your best post or thread was, NO JUDGEMENT, just curious!
