I would pay sats for article & book summaries
663 sats \ 12 comments \ @Modus 5 Dec 2022 bitcoin
There are a lot of articles and books I will never read. Some of them are very good. I would pay sats for summaries, not just to avoid reading but also to help me decide what to read.
I see articles and I think "That is probably a very interesting article." I skim a little trying get a sense of whether I want to read it. And I can't tell.
How many sats would I pay for a summary? More than a "micro" payment. For some articles, maybe 6-12k sats ($1-$2), for others maybe only like 3k sats.

it might not help much for articles yet, but i’ve just realized chatGPT is pretty good at high level book summaries, and they’re free.

I am semi-retired and would be interested in odd jobs like this to stack some additional sats.
Let me know what kind of articles and books you are referring to and how long of a summary you require. If it's vector calculus or something I would have to pass.
Cheers, GR

I also was thinking of possibly making money off this myself. :D If you look at @DarthCoin 's comment, he recommended I use microlancer.io - maybe you would be interested in that as well.

@grayruby Let's DM (on a platform that has DMs, maybe twitter or matrix.org) about maybe making money off this. I was thinking there could be a business model where we post summaries of popular stuff behind a sats paywall, and also take requests - if it's really obscure then we ask for more "sats per word" to make sure we are profitable.
Or it could be a value-for-value model, where it is free to access but we ask for sats.

You see? Read more books and you will learn more. Putting others to read for you, you will never learn anything, but worse... you would trust somebody else mind and conscience, that could never be transferred to you. So you will double lose: you lose your sats and also more knowledge for you.

As I said: "not just to avoid reading but also to help me decide what to read."
I already read a fuckton.
"Putting others to read for you" IS READING. The other person learned info, processed it, and distilled it for you. I'm talking about the same process on a different level.
