Probably, he wondered why only few original could get into 'premium' program. Webnovel had never made this clear, but I think Webnovel need some time to check the feedback.
I actually hoped Webnovel use in house Patreon-like system rather than premium early chapter and gift (aka paypal donation method). :D
Perhaps an option for author to use 'Gift' (donation), 'Premium Chapter' (pay for [early] chapter), or 'Patreon' (sponsorship) while WN take a cut as a platform. However I don't know how this will work with Google and Apple already took 30% cut from in-app-purchase.
