klmorgan while I can understand authors need to look out for themselves (most can't do this for free, no argument there) that is just not a good deal for the consumer.
Think about it this way, I pay $18 a month for Netflix(4K, etc) for that I get all the shows on Netflix, not 'select 10 shows or movies' for the month.
Honestly getting an amount based on ranking is just realistic, no company is ever going to pay the little guy as much as the AAA huge popular authors. Print authors don't just expect to make money from books that don't sell.
That being said, I hope there is some solution found that benefits everyone without just making the subscription service into another version
of buying SS, unlimited or nothing at all.
