reply guys

I was thinking about UX concepts of paywalls and subscriptions. And thought of this concept of time.

What if you bought time to use a product instead of a subscription?

Want to read this and only this article on a newswebsite? Buy 5min.

Want to spend 10h scrolling away on a platform? Buy 10h. 

If I pay for month I could use the product for a month in time not a month in days. Meaning if I don’t use it the clock doesn’t tick.

Just thought that in a way it's similar to what Amazon does with AWS 

But instead, it's like pay as you go. I guess they are both different.

What do you think about buying time vs. subscriptions?

This would be inconvenient for Netflix, Disney+, etc. where it's convenient to have a subscription. Imagine running out of time balance and the movie is just 20 minutes away from ending 😅

buying time make sense as long as you don't have to go through whole pay txns (signing, verifying, waiting, etx.)  every single time....
