This is Saidit's main sub for things related to the saidit.net website itself.
If you need help with using this website or related tools, post in /s/help. If you want a place to post any topic to the community, try /s/whatever or /s/asksaidit. If you want to create a wiki page, use /s/wiki.
Should saidit eventually adopt a subscription model?

Naysayers have only considered their way of thinking.
Consider another way: paying for trustworthy high quality content.
Currently on SaidIt people must spend the time to dig through the endless posts that range from mediocre to shit with the occasional good one. If you had a team mining the mountains of shit for the gold (avoiding fool's gold) then you could save yourself countless hours, days, weeks - time that could be better spent with family, at work, in the garden, in your community, etc.
We'd need to assemble a good team and clear goals, ideally with 100% transparency. Drafts could be prepared on wiki pages before final assembly (with caution for multiple users overwriting).
We'd need to prove our value by aggregating the best of the best on this SaidIt aggregator to present it professionally and concisely with context, in a reliable manner. More than just collecting the best articles and media, it would be important to collect opposing views on issues and offer something not found elsewhere. Content to be determined by participants.
Develop transparent trustworthy collection and reward systems. Ideally a fair portion would be donated to SaidIt. (In addition to financial security measures, we'd need to be wary of infiltration, corruption, etc.)
Build up a body of work that could be published and or used for reference. Ideally all content would be free to all, however, it might be advisable to provide donors earlier access, or something similar.
Clear titles for your projects. I propose the following titles for the dual meaning of "critical" (importance and skeptical/analytical), the site branding, and the obvious scheduling. I'd assume the daily content would be focused on hustling it out there, less polished, and preparing content to be refined for the less frequent editions.
All this work would be wasted if there weren't folks sharing it and promoting it's existence. Good branding and marketing would be necessary for further growth. If a dedicated sub or few were to wear thin a dedicated website might offer more for folks, including a more dynamic layout, graphics, media, merch store, etc.
Ultimately it depends if we have the interest, the talent, the motivation with follow-through, and if that's enough to compel a supportive following to grow. If James Corbett can do it, then we could do it - if we were determined.
Who dares to try to change the world?
