look, premium based on word count is ridiculous according to me right now. Let's say some people have time and some don't, some have money and some don't. using the matrix from this we can get the following groups:
hThM - has time, has money - can read a lot of books and pay for them. -> small minority
hTnM - has time, no money - can read a lot of books but not pay for all of them. -> majority of people here
nThM - no time, has money - can read select books and pay for them. -> casual reader
nTnM - no time, no money - can read select books but not pay for them. -> casual reader
The premium would work for the casual reader and those who can pay for it.
hThM -> very small minority and can be considered exceptions, they are cash cows.
nT category will probably not need to pay much or at all as they don't read heavily and the daily free stones can take care for premium novels.
htnM -> majority of the heavy readers are this category and can be considered the main customers.
I mean the casual probably won't need to buy stones at all or maybe a 100 would do a week or a month.
Someone reading 3-10 premium novels could just make multiple accounts with a single novel per account, easy bypass. it might be a bit cumbersome but you can just use multiple google accounts for it and it would take ~15-20 secs to switch. They cannot get rid of the free stones or else a lot of people would complain so I really believe a subscription system like Netflix is way better.
They can provide both systems but bypass the subscription as a VIP or something and make all content available.
thoughts?
