The point being that Stallman is asking for a way to anonymously pay for one article that he alone can read...but does it matter who pays for it? If I value the articles in a newspaper, maybe I pay for a certain number every month, but someone else reads them. Is that so bad? This is the Gratipay model.

We could potentially reach out to newspapers and other content organizations once #432 is done, though I'm especially nervous here about brand fit (cf.).

Don't worry, it was mostly a mental exercise. People generally understand that newspapers are subsidized by ads. I'm just trying to turn that idea around to use it for the type of teams on Gratipay, and this article is part of that process.
