Is the dominant ad-supported business model for Internet news and opinion unsustainable?  In a pair of short essays published on Evonomics, David Brin say yes -- but alternatives, including subscriptions and paywalls, are unrealistic for most apps and content producers, too.  Can micropayments (in the 1 to 5 cent range) solve this problem?  Brin, Bambauer, Lemley, and Volokh will begin the conversation this Friday, September 18, 2020, from 2 to 3 pm Pacific.
