npub1hpcdfjpxrawnmu6ryh36ce7xu4qd54pu6xca394yhvmyzlery0tqvghjn3 (npub1hpc…hjn3) absolutely.

I'm thinking a lot about shootingpeople.org at the moment (one of their two founders #JessSearch just died). They were a free mailman based email list launched in 1998 and, unable to pay moderators, switched to a subscription system in 2002 where paid members could post and get the digests before free members. About 25% of the 40,000 members ended up paying and that sustained a decent small team.

But a culture of pay-what-you-can could avoid needing either perk or paywall.
