Audience Perception on Payment Models for Content

Offering a pay-what's-fair model for content can be well-received by audiences, as seen with a movie available behind a paywall for a limited time before being released on YouTube. However, charging a fixed price for content, such as a storytelling course for $400, may lead to significant pushback from the audience. Windowed content releases, pay-what's-fair models, and platforms like Patreon are generally accepted by audiences, while charging for individual video content is often met with resistance.
