Hi Benjamin! Chance pointed me in your direction. I just read through the thread, and I think this is a cool idea that’ll really benefit the community. However, I’ve been thinking about this, and I don’t think this would be a good fit for the Marketplace. In order for the Marketplace to grow, I’ve been working on developing it into a place where content creators can promote their work and make enough money for it to be a worthwhile and profitable side venture, with the eventual goal of being able to make a living off of the Marketplace. That in turn would bring in even more talented creators. And that’s one of the primary reasons we don’t offer free content. With the approach you’re taking here, if this were on the Marketplace as either free\almost free, it would essentially be subsidizing content development and undercutting the prices of everyone that’s investing their own time and money into developing Marketplace content. Unfortunately, that’s not in line with the goals of the Marketplace or the way we want to support our content creators.
That being said, I think this is a really interesting model, and I encourage you to keep moving forward and working with the community to develop it outside of the Marketplace. I’ll be keeping an eye on it, because I’d like to see how all of this works out.
